Job Description

Job Description

Cheeky's is a neighborhood seafood restaurant and oyster bar opening soon along St. Petersburg's Grand Central District. A mix between a salty Old Florida fish shack and a classic New England oyster bar, with a menu of classic American dishes and something for everyone.

We are excited to bring a fresh dining experience to the community, featuring a menu inspired by simple and classic American dishes, seasonal ingredients and bold flavors. Our restaurant is dedicated to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy exceptional food and service.

Behind the bar we're shaking up classic drinks and serving frozen cocktails. Our wine list is full of small production and natural bottles. Light local beers on tap and a deep list of no & low alcohol drinks round out the menu. We're an easy-going spot with friendly service, good for the whole family. Grab a seat along our sidewalk patio for great people watching (dog-friendly too!) or in the dining room surrounding our horseshoe bar.

As we prepare for our opening, we are looking for passionate individuals to join our team and help us set a new standard for hospitality in St. Petersburg.

Cheeky's is hiring Runners to join our growing team!

As a Runner, you'll be the bridge between the kitchen and the dining room, delivering dishes directly to guests and contributing to a positive guest experience.
