  • You bring the flexibility to work nights, weekends and holidays as the schedule calls for.

Who We Are:

  • SSA Group runs the food and beverage operation at Snook Haven, a legendary riverside eatery in Venice, FL that has appeared in classic jungle movies and serves seafood-focused Southern fare.

  • With 50 years in the business, they build a plan for each partner instead of running one playbook everywhere.

What You Will Do Each Day:
