The strong culture of teamwork, along with consistent support from coworkers and managers, creates a smooth workflow that helps guests feel genuinely seen and valued.
Finding the right balance between building connections and managing my time effectively. At times, I can get so engaged with one table that I have to remind myself to stay attentive to my other tables as well.
Stay curious and open to adapting. Keeping a curious mindset helps you stay informed and confident on the floor, while being flexible allows you to handle change with ease and embrace what makes us unique from our competitors.
The flexibility it provides and the chance to build genuine connections with guests. Creating positive experiences, making people smile, and expressing myself authentically makes the work especially fulfilling.
The day-to-day variability. Some days are fast-paced and hectic while others are more relaxed, requiring constant adjustment and adaptability.
Don’t feel pressured to learn everything at once, focus on improving a little each day. Embrace mistakes as part of the process and remember to lean on your team for support whenever you need it.

Getting to be a part of people’s going-out experiences, whether they’re celebrating something special or just enjoying a night out. It’s so much fun!
Staying adaptable in a constantly growing and evolving culture and company. Your 3rd Spot is such a new concept, and with that comes frequent changes. Remaining flexible is key to growth here, but it’s not always easy.
Adopt a growth mindset. Never allow yourself to become stagnant, especially here, because you never know what opportunities will open up for you. Your seat at the table is always waiting—you just have to keep growing into it!
Having the freedom to showcase my strengths instead of being confined by the job. It allows me to grow and shine in my own way.
Leaving all distractions behind and ensuring guests always experience a positive attitude. Staying focused and upbeat is key.

The excitement of each shift. It’s like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re going to get, but always in the best way. Whether it’s a first-time group walking in, reconnecting with the team, or a new DJ bringing unexpected energy, every night has something fresh. The atmosphere in this building is electric, and that keeps it fun.
High-volume, high-intensity moments. That’s when you really lock in with your team. It could be navigating crowded spaces with hot plates or someone accidentally bumping into you with a drink in hand. It’s fast-paced and unpredictable—but those are also the moments that make us
This isn’t a job you do alone. Things can get hectic but always look to your left and right—the team is there for you. The support here is unmatched, and when everyone comes together, even the toughest nights feel worth it. That unity is what makes this place special.
What we do might seem like the bare minimum on the surface, but to the guests who walk through our doors, it can truly make their day. I love moving beyond just being a familiar face—I enjoy getting to know our guests personally, making them feel seen and valued every time they visit.
Keeping up with the volume. It’s important to remember that we’re all human and mistakes happen. On those high-volume days, it can feel overwhelming, but knowing I have the support of such an amazing team makes all the difference.
Know the menu inside and out! Take the time to really study the plates and feel confident talking about them. The menu is your gateway to connecting with guests, and when you know it well, you can elevate their experience in a big way.
Hone in on your self-reflection. We are constantly evolving and challenging ourselves. Having reflection and self-awareness will help you here. Self-reflect on your position and how you can improve yourself.
Meeting new people, feeling their energy and making guests feel seen.
Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. You get to get out of your comfort zone in order to get guests out of theirs.
The people you get to meet and the people I work with. Everybody comes here to work hard and are on the same page in terms of delivering a great guest experience.
Keeping your energy up for the entire shift. Your last guest deserves the same energy as your first guest.
Your level of overall service is heightened here. We don’t “turn ‘em and burn ‘em” here. It’s just not this place. Guest interactions take longer. Be the leader you’re supposed to be. All the time. This is how you ensure you’re always doing your part.

The people I work with. It's good vibes all around. We get to impact people's lives in a positive way.
Tedious tasks. There are some things that need to be done that just take time and it can be frustrating.
Whatever you do, do it with confidence. It doesn't mean you will be correct, but you took action, and that's what matters.

Getting to know everyone that comes into the building and building a connection.
Turning people away, I want everyone to be able to experience this beautiful and amazing building but sometimes the law has to be put down.
Be yourself, yourself is what got you hired and made you the person you are today don’t change for anyone!

Culinary Lead
The culture and atmosphere are different from any other job. Everyone is like family, not just co-workers.
The most challenging thing about working at Your 3rd Spot is the fast-paced volume and long nights.
Be ready to grow, be ready to expand, and be ready to learn new things daily.
Seeing the start of every dish, since we make most things from scratch. It’s rewarding to watch the day come together from the very beginning.
Maintaining consistent quality in all prep items every day. Attention to detail and routine are crucial.
My top advice to a new team member is to ask as many questions as possible. Constant curiosity helps you learn more about the kitchen and our dishes.
It’s not always easy—but it’s worth it. We grow 1% better every day, chasing purpose and building something meaningful, together
We’re a team on the rise, and we grow with people who are hungry to learn, lead, and take on more. There’s real room to stretch, build new skills, and level up with support every step of the way.
