Ali: Meeting new people, feeling their energy and making guests feel seen.
Me'Kenzi: Connecting with and meeting new people. Creating experiences. I love the social aspect of the role.
Hardest part?

experience leader
Best part?
Ariel: Made me get out of my comfort zone. I’m introverted and shy and wasn’t sure I’d be a fit when I started. But seeing how our guests respond to our team’s energy makes me happy.
Jay: 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! As someone who loves going out myself, I know how great it feels to meet friendly people while you’re out. Being able to create that kind of experience for others is really rewarding.
Noah: I love creating an environment where guests feel genuinely cared for, while also helping the team adapt to new tools and processes that make service even smoother. It’s rewarding to see both guests and staff benefit from the work we put in!
Hardest part?
Jay: 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.
Noah: Maintaining consistency. Every guest and every situation is different, so it takes a lot of focus, patience, and quick thinking to make sure each experience feels special, even when the restaurant is busy or challenges pop up behind the scenes.
Advice to someone considering joining the team
Ariel: Be coachable and be yourself.
Jay: 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!
Noah: Be flexible, solution-oriented, and proactive. Change can be uncomfortable for some, so success here depends on your ability to lead with patience, communicate clearly, and stay focused on the bigger picture even when small frustrations come up. If you can stay organized and coachable, you’ll thrive.

amplifier
Best part?
Leon: THelping people without them even realizing it. 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.
Zay: 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.
Hardest part?
Leon: 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. That sense of teamwork keeps me grounded and helps me push forward, even on the toughest days.
Zay: High-volume, high-intensity moments. That’s when you really must 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 stronger. The challenges push us, but they’re also how we grow.
Advice to someone considering joining the team
Leon: 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.
Zay: 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.

Best part?
Jordan: Getting to know everyone that comes into the building and building a connection.
Bryce: I enjoy building bonds with our community & helping create memories guest won’t forget.
Hardest part?
Bryce: Turning away kids after our 5 pm cut off. Seeing how excited the kids are about coming in and then not being able to sucks. I try to recommend some great suggestions so people can still spend some family time together.
Jordan: 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.
Advice to someone considering joining the team
Jordan: Be yourself, yourself is what got you hired and made you the person you are today don’t change for anyone!
Bryce: Don’t be scared to be challenged, it’ll only help you and your development as a person in the long run. Mistakes happen, learn from them, and adapt.
