From “Day to Dinner to Dark,” the restaurant aims to create an atmosphere that feels thoughtful, welcoming, and real. The team emphasizes hospitality that is warm but never scripted, confident yet humble.
Rather than simply filling positions, Ray’s says it’s focused on building a community of personalities that are social, outgoing and connected to Yaletown.

Positions available
Ray’s is currently hiring for:
- Host: Welcoming every guest with warmth and keeping the flow of the room seamless
- Server: Delivering genuine, intuitive service that brings the Ray’s experience to life
- Line Cook: Executing each dish with precision and consistency
- Bartender: Connecting with guests while setting the energy of the room
- Leadership & Management: Leading high-performance teams and protecting the guest experience from open to close
Why work at Ray’s?
According to the team, Ray’s is focused on creating experiences that feel good, both for guests and the people delivering them.
Staff can expect flexible schedules, room for growth, and a culture built on respect and consistency. In the kitchen, the focus is on comfort food done right, quality ingredients, and teamwork over ego. On the floor, service is rooted in genuine connection and reading the room from lunch through late night.
With its Yaletown opening approaching, Ray’s is inviting hospitality professionals who want to be part of something intentional from the beginning.
If that sounds like you, mark your calendar.
