About The Company
Since 1976, Steve Sazama and his team have sought to provide "The Finest"​ in dining and service. This initial concept met with great success in the Saz's State House restaurant, inspiring a following dedicated to Saz's BBQ and exemplary service. Over time, and to meet its ever-increasing demand, Saz's has expanded both its physical presence and its service line.Forty years later, Saz's Hospitality Group consists of; two catering facilities (Saz's Catering and Saz's Catering Lake Country), a gluten-free BBQ product line in addition to other area-favorite retail products, a solid festival presence at the Wisconsin State Fair and world-renowned Summerfest (among countless other festivals), Sazama's Fine Catering housed within the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, and operations and venue management at South Second and Jan Serr Studio. Suffice to say, Saz's knows how to entertain. Whether you're planning a corporate event for 25 or dining for 25,000 fairgoers, Saz's helps to simplify entertaining while assuring the complete success of event and menu planning. While Saz's has been aptly awarded for its established roots in Milwaukee barbeque, catering menus spanning the spectrum from casual picnic to formal wedding fare are also on tap from Saz's Catering, Saz's Catering Lake Country, and Sazama's Fine Catering. Whether you are working within established venue or corporate guidelines, or you're looking for a one-of-a-kind event, Saz's experienced staff will ensure success, uncompromising quality, and unfailing attention to every detail from conception through completion.

About the Role

Description

Saz's State House is looking for a team member to fill an Expo role in our restaurant kitchen. What's great about the role? Every plate that leaves the kitchen goes through you. As the Expo, you’re the link between our kitchen and our servers, verifying accuracy, presentation, and portion sizes, and making sure every order gets to the right table at the right time.


If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love being the person who keeps everything running smoothly, and take pride in a job done right, we invite you to join our team. 


Okay, but what does an Expo actually do?

  • Act as the final checkpoint for every dish — checking accuracy, plating, and portion sizes before it reaches a guest
  • Bridge the gap between the kitchen (BOH) and servers (FOH), keeping communication clear and service running on time
  • Organize and prioritize incoming tickets to maintain kitchen pace and keep wait times short
  • Keep the expo station clean, stocked, and ready to roll throughout service
  • Assist with packaging takeout and delivery orders accurately and efficiently

Requirements


What makes a great Expo?

  • Sharp Eye for Detail — you catch errors before they reach the guest 
  • Calm Under Pressure — a busy service doesn't throw you off your game 
  • Strong Communicator — you keep BOH and FOH on the same page 
  • Team Player — you know a smooth shift is everybody's win

What else do you need to know?

  • Must be 16 years of age or older with the ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Previous expo experience is a plus, but we're happy to train the right person
  • A commitment to food safety and sanitation standards is a must
