Assistant Server - Library Bar (Part Time)

For over 95 years, Fairmont Royal York has stood proudly as a Toronto landmark. When the hotel opened in 1929 it was the tallest building in the British Common Wealth and contained 1,048 rooms, a concert hall, library, extensive bakery, radio station and even a hospital. Today, this essential downtown landmark has completed a multi-million dollar transformation, reimagining its lobby, rooms, dining venues, event spaces, and Fairmont Gold – the property’s exclusive hotel within a hotel luxury experience. Another stunning chapter for Fairmont Royal York has begun.

The Assistant Server’s focus will be to act as a support in all areas of Guest service delivery. In principle, their function will be threefold: to prepare serving stations and work areas for each meal period, assisting with the smooth execution of meal service during peak times, and offering continued support in preparation for the next meal period. The Assistant Server will be an integral part of the Library Bar team, working towards the common goal of exceeding the expectations of all that come to dine at the Library Bar.
