Thank you for your interest in joining the service team at O+O Events!

We are seeking experienced event and restaurant servers as we expand our team heading into the warmer months ahead.

O+O Events was founded in 2020 as the events and private dining arm of the O+O Hospitality Group. We have multiple private rooms for small occasions in addition to The Hall at Olive + Oak, an open airy space which can service events with up to 300 guests. From corporate lunches to full-service weddings with live performers, we’re able to service a diversity of clients while providing each with a unique menu catered to their needs. Inspired by our flagship restaurant, Olive + Oak, the O+O Events kitchen prepares menus that change seasonally and feature the best of local and imported ingredients we can find.

We are ideally seeking servers with a strong hospitality background and an above-average knowledge of food, spirits, wine, and beer. That said, we're also willing to provide training to those who may not have the experience, but who have a love for people and the desire to learn!

We are ideally seeking servers with nighttime and weekend availability, however we also service daytime events. This is primarily a part-time position however it can be made full-time in combination with a front-of-house role elsewhere in our restaurant group. We have many employees who work at more than one establishment of ours. Servers at O+O Events are scheduled event shifts within their stated availability, as opposed to being a "sign up" for events.

Pay for this position will either be based on a client tip or service charge. Service charge events will be paid out at either $18.00 per hour for luncheons, or $25.00 per hour for nighttime events. Tips are either entirely kept by the server if only one is working, or are shared between servers based on hours worked.

Full-time employees in the O+O Hospitality Group qualify for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance after 60 days of employment. Full-time employees also qualify for paid maternity/paternity leave after 1 year of service. All employees qualify for paid time off, paid bereavement leave, discounts at all restaurants within the O+O Hospitality Group, referral bonuses, flexible scheduling, and much more.

The O+O Hospitality Group is a collective of independently owned restaurants, with 5 locations and over 260 combined employees. When you join the team at O+O Events, you’re actually joining a much larger community of culinary and hospitality professionals with whom you’ll interact on a daily basis. We love our unique setup think you will too!

Wishing you all the best in your career search,
O+O Events

Our Core Values

Heartfelt hospitality paired with attentive service

Going out of our way to make our guests feel good is as important to us as serving excellent food. Dining at our restaurant should evoke the excitement of going out, combined with the comfort of coming home. Our dedication to hospitality will create loyal and vocal fans. Our service will ensure our guests want for nothing. Our staff will use a little quick thinking, a little humor, and a lot of heart to make our guests’ experiences unforgettable.

Consistently delivering quality at a value

We will consistently offer the highest levels of quality at a great value. A concerted effort to provide the highest quality experience at the best possible prices will create loyalty and ensure longevity. Our menus, both food and beverage, will be thoughtfully prepared using the best possible products. Every time we serve an item to our guest we want that item to make a lasting, positive impression. Everything is intentional. No aspect of the experience is an afterthought.

Creating a place where people want to work

We all spend a lot of time at work. Our jobs, in many cases, are part of our identity. We believe in creating a culture where people can take pride in what they do and where they work. We will treat people fairly and with respect and we expect the same in return. As with creating a culture of hospitality towards our guests, it takes all of us to create a culture of hospitality towards one another.

Contributing to our community through philanthropy

We believe that by extending our hospitality to our community, we will make our own business stronger. We encourage our employees to become involved in their communities and we support their charitable causes. In addition to the individual efforts by our staff, the O+O Hospitality Group has dedicated time and resources to supporting charities related to congenital heart disease. Our goal is to help leave the world a better place, and when we work to create positive change in our communities, we take a tiny step closer to achieving that goal. We are proud to partner with the Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation, the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation, the Children's Heart Foundation, and Webster Groves schools and educational programs.
