About DIG on Bleecker:

DIG on Bleecker is a casual neighborhood restaurant in the West Village, centering on vegetables, seasonality, and joyful eating. Our hospitality aims to make a personal impact in a few short interactions. DIG on Bleecker is not formal, and not restrained by anyone’s ideas about “full service” - we want to tailor each experience to the guest. Service should feel warm, welcoming, and efficient.

Our dining room team should have a passion for hospitality and great food. You should be eager to connect with guests and work within a team set on excellence. Our dining room team is the bridge connecting our guests to our kitchens.

About DIG:

DIG on Bleecker is among a small set of restaurants from Dig Food Group. Dig Inn opened in 2011 as a place to enjoy a good meal at an affordable price. To us, this meant mostly seasonal vegetables, sourced close to home, and served in simple dishes that our guests could happily eat every day. It sounded easy enough. But, early on, we realized that we had to create a new system from the ground up to support our mission– from growing, to cooking, to operating a restaurant.

Since getting started we have focused on the essentials of our mission- building kitchens, training chefs, and developing one-on-one relationships with over 50 partner farms. DIG now has over 25 restaurants in New York and the Northeast. The next few years will be a period of expansion, as we open in new cities and use the platform we’ve built for a better conversation around sourcing, cooking, and the business of food.

An hourly teammate at a DIG on Bleecker restaurant exhibits the following skills & priorities:

An eagerness to engage with food, and is always hungry (for knowledge)
A desire to be part of a team, and support their service and culinary teammates
An outgoing personality, and an understanding of how to create meaningful connection
Experience with guest interactions & recovery - meeting each guest where they are
Tidiness / a desire to keep busy - a self-starter who can intuit what the team/guests need

You will:

Help to build, maintain, and constantly improve the culture of the restaurant. You should be an example of the type of person you want to work alongside every service.

Be constantly looking to deepen and expand your knowledge and experience.
Be the face of hospitality for the restaurant and lead by example with generous hospitality for your team, locals, regulars, and first timers.
Achieve and maintain Department of Health Standards, holding your fellow teammates accountable and role-modeling cleanliness and organization throughout your station and the restaurant.

1 year minimum restaurant or relevant customer service experience. Dining room experience is not necessary.
The discipline and desire to maintain systems and organization within fast changing environments.
Excellent communication skills.
Ability to learn technological platforms and work systematically with them.
An eye for detail.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
