Welcome to Language Tables. You can find information about working at LT here as well as sign up for our waitlist to be considered as waiter in the future.
Waiter positions open up at the beginning of each term and are generally available in these languages: Arabic, American Sign Language, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swahili.
Language Tables waiting is pay-level A.
During regular semesters, a full-shift starts at 11:30 am and ends at 1:30 pm, and includes a 20-minute lunch break before students arrive at 12:30. If you have class right before, you can also come for a half-shift starting at 12:20.
During J-Term, a full-shift starts at 11:45 am and ends at 1:45 pm, and also includes a 20-minute lunch break before students arrive at 12:45. A half-shift starts at 12:40.
Generally, beginning waiters get a kitchen help shift (gathering and serving food to waiters) along with a waiting shift. Kitchen help is laid-back, and is the same pay-level as waiting. It will help you settle into the routine of Language Tables.
There usually are options to get extra shifts when waiters ask for substitutions. You can always respond to other waiters’ sub-requests - or send your own when you can't make a shift due to sickness, exams, or job interviews.
Note that we attempt to schedule our waiters based on previous LT waiting experience, seniority, schedule availability, among other priorities, but Language Table Managers have full discretion of the schedule.
