Waiter NA-02 - Full-time
Posted on October 24, 2025
The hiring organization is the Community Activity Center located at Fort Campbell. Fort Campbell itself is a major U.S. Army installation strategically located on the Kentucky-Tennessee border known for its strong military presence and support facilities that serve military personnel and their families. The Community Activity Center is part of the broader Army Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) employment system, which provides critical support services and employment opportunities to the military community. As a federal establishment operating under the NAF, the Community Activity Center is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for service members and their families by offering a variety of recreational, hospitality, and community services.
This particular role offered is a flexible position, allowing for work hours ranging from zero to forty per week, which makes it suitable for candidates seeking part-time engagement with flexible scheduling options. It is important to note that this role does not include eligibility to participate in the NAF Employee Benefits Plans at the current time. However, it still provides a unique opportunity to work in a dynamic military community environment where dedication to service and community interaction are highly valued. The position is primarily focused on serving guests within the Community Activity Center, attending to their needs related to beverage and food orders, and ensuring exceptional customer service.
The role requires the ability to handle orders for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as food items directly from the menu. The incumbent must be fully knowledgeable about the available selection to assist guests effectively, demonstrating proficiency in menu knowledge. Key responsibilities include taking accurate orders, liaising with bartenders to ensure timely delivery of drinks, managing sales records, and handling various forms of payment, including cash and credit cards. The role also involves maintaining cleanliness and organization of the service area by resetting tables, and removing used glassware, china, and silverware. In addition to these duties, the employee may be assigned various other tasks as necessary.
Candidates applying for this job must be prepared for a work environment that may involve standing for extended periods and occasionally lifting items up to 20 pounds. The requirement for a probationary period and compliance with various employment verification and background investigation procedures reflects the federal nature of the employment and the standards expected within military facilities. Training in food sanitation and safety is mandatory and emphasizes the importance of maintaining health and safety standards in food service. The job demands flexibility in scheduling, including availability for rotating shifts, weekends, holidays, and special events throughout the year. Communication skills, basic math proficiency, and adherence to age and legal requirements for serving alcohol are essential qualifications.
Ultimately, this position offers more than just a job; it offers the chance to be part of a respected federal workforce that supports the morale and welfare of military members and their families. Employees in this role contribute to creating a welcoming atmosphere in a vital community hub, gaining valuable experience in customer service, food and beverage handling, and federal compliance requirements. This makes the position ideal for individuals seeking flexible employment with meaningful contributions to the military community and personal professional development.
