Careers at The Tasting Room
A professional hospitality environment for people who take service seriously.
The Tasting Room is an independently owned, fine-dining restaurant in downtown Traverse City. We focus on elevated food and beverage, thoughtful service, and a calm, polished guest experience.
We believe great restaurants are built by people who care about details — from how a table is greeted, to how a plate is presented, to how a guest feels when they leave.
While we may not always have immediate openings, we are always interested in connecting with hospitality professionals who align with our standards and culture.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re always interested in hearing from experienced, motivated professionals in the following areas:
- Servers
- Bartenders
- Hosts
- Kitchen professionals (line cooks, prep, support)
Experience in an elevated or fine-dining environment is strongly preferred, but professionalism, reliability, and the right attitude matter just as much as background.
What It’s Like to Work Here
Working at The Tasting Room means being part of a small, committed team that takes pride in what we do.
- High service standards and clear expectations
- A focus on quality over volume
- Team accountability and support
- Opportunities to grow skills and responsibility over time
This is not a fast-food or casual workplace. We value preparation, communication, and attention to detail — on the floor and behind the scenes.
What We Value
The Tasting Room is a good fit for people who:
- Take ownership of their role
- Show up prepared and on time
- Communicate clearly and respectfully
- Care about food, beverage, and guest experience
- Thrive in a structured, professional setting
We may not be the right fit for those looking for a casual or loosely managed environment.
