TO-GO SPECIALIST – JOIN OUR OPENING TEAM!

Ophelia Tavern & Bar Top | Avondale Estates, Georgia

$10.00 per hour + Tips 

Ophelia Tavern & Bar Top is coming to The Dale in Avondale Estates, and we're building an exceptional Opening Team to bring two distinct but connected hospitality experiences to life. Ophelia Tavern will be a refined neighborhood gathering place serving Italian-inspired comfort food in a welcoming, no-fuss atmosphere. The menu features Italian tavern classics, including pizzas crisped in 600-degree ovens, fresh pastas tossed in scratch-made sauces, juicy house-ground burgers, thoughtfully prepared entrées and salads, and plenty of small plates made for sharing. With inviting indoor and patio seating, Ophelia pairs its food with handcrafted cocktails, a whiskey-forward bar program featuring a focus on Old Fashioneds, along with a well-rounded selection of beer and wine.

Located upstairs, Bar Top adds another dimension to the Ophelia experience. The rooftop bar features a spacious covered patio overlooking the Town Green at The Dale, a cozy indoor bar, fireplace, and private event space. Bar Top's menu features classic cocktails, creative mocktails, light bites, a wide selection of local draft and bottled beers, and curated wines.

We're looking for organized, energetic, and hospitality-driven To-Go Specialists who understand that our takeout guests deserve the same attention and level of service as guests dining inside the restaurant.

At Ophelia Tavern, our To-Go Specialists will be responsible for much more than putting food into bags. You'll help manage the entire takeout experience—from accurately entering and coordinating orders to checking every item, properly packaging food, communicating pickup times, organizing completed orders, and providing friendly and efficient service when guests arrive.

Order Accuracy & Guest Experience

Accuracy is one of the most important responsibilities of our To-Go team.

Before an order leaves the restaurant, To-Go Specialists are expected to verify that the order is complete, properly packaged, and matches what the guest ordered.

This includes checking:

• Correct menu items and quantities
• Requested modifications
• Sides and accompaniments
• Sauces and dressings
• Condiments
• Utensils and napkins when requested
• Proper packaging and presentation
• Guest name and order information

Our takeout guests may never step beyond the front door, but their experience should still reflect the hospitality and quality of Ophelia Tavern. A great To-Go Specialist understands that missing sauces, incorrect modifications, forgotten sides, poor packaging, or an order handed to the wrong guest can completely change someone's experience. Attention to detail matters.

Our To-Go Specialists are expected to:

• Acknowledge guests promptly and professionally
