About the Role

Description

Pinstripes is known for attracting exceptional people who are passionate about service. Our Venues are dynamic in layout and design; no two Pinstripes are the same.

From professional development classes to mentoring and guidance from your colleagues, we create well-rounded restaurateurs who are also savvy businesspeople.
