VERSE – Toluca Lake
Part-Time & Full-Time | Hourly + Gratuity

VERSE is a refined, hospitality-driven dining destination centered on elevated Angeleno cuisine, an exceptional wine program, and an immersive acoustic environment. We operate at high volume while maintaining disciplined service standards rooted in intention, efficiency, consistency, and accountability.

As VERSE continues its growth, we are expanding our Front of House team.

We do not hire directly into Captain (Server) positions. All Front of House team members begin with foundational responsibilities and advance through clearly defined stages based on performance, mastery, and leadership readiness.

This is a competitive, performance-driven structure designed to develop serious hospitality professionals.

Position Overview

Front of House Team Members begin by mastering the operational foundation of our dining room. Initial responsibilities may include polishing, station setup precision, support roles, and food running.

Advancement into Captain responsibilities is performance-based and earned through consistency, accountability, and demonstrated leadership capacity and testing. 

Highly skilled candidates with strong experience may progress quickly. Growth is determined by execution — not tenure.

Success in this role is measured by:

• Precision and consistency in foundational tasks

Every position within the dining room contributes directly to revenue, service timing, and overall perception.
