NOLA Restaurant is looking for an organized, dependable Expo / Food Expeditor who can keep up with a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant environment.

The Expo is the connection between our kitchen and front-of-house team and plays an important role in making sure every plate leaving the kitchen is accurate, complete, properly presented, and ready for the guest.

Previous Expo or restaurant experience is preferred and will be considered when determining compensation. Candidates with demonstrated experience, strong menu knowledge, and the ability to confidently manage the expo window may qualify for higher starting pay.

Read and organize tickets accurately

Pay close attention to allergies, dietary restrictions, and special requests
Communicate clearly with cooks, servers, food runners, and managers
Help prioritize tickets and maintain efficient ticket times
Make sure food is delivered to the correct table quickly
Identify missing or incorrect items and communicate them immediately

Follow and help maintain NOLA's food quality and service standards

What We're Looking For

Previous Expo or restaurant experience preferred
Relevant experience and demonstrated skill will be reflected in compensation
Understanding of restaurant service and kitchen operations
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
Able to read tickets and modifications quickly and correctly
Strong sense of urgency

What Success Looks Like at the Expo Window

The Expo is the final quality check before food reaches our guests.

If something is missing, incorrect, improperly presented, or does not meet NOLA's standards, we expect our Expo to recognize it, communicate it, and help get it corrected before the plate leaves the kitchen.

This position requires someone who can keep track of multiple tickets, communicate between FOH and BOH, anticipate problems, and help the entire restaurant stay on pace.
