Quick hiring update!

Thank you for the flood of interest - genuinely, way more than we expected.
I'm working through all the submissions and we'll start reaching out ASAP.

One ask, just to help me move fast: tell me a little about yourself.

Where you've cooked, what you're good at, what you're looking for.
A message that just says "job?" doesn't give me much to work with, and I'd rather know something real about you before we talk.

Still going through them all - if you sent something, I'll get to you.

Soo.....
We had to order bigger plates for our new 'Haus Plates' -- added more steak, shrimp and other goodies and they are hard to eat on the current plates.

They LOOK great!

But fall off a bit when you start to dig in.....should be here Friday.....in the meantime please be careful so we don't have any wild shrimps running around the table....
LOL.....

Hey Belleville!

Tonight we have Naz behind the bar and providing table side service. You don't get to see him that often because his 'real job' is a flight attendant.

So we are introducing a new fun dinner twist for when he works, just for our Facebook family:

"First Class Is Now Boarding"
Just tell us that you are a 'First Class Guest' and your table's drinks are on us (come on now...non-alcoholic only, soft-drinks and iced tea!) AND you get a free upgrade to any of our premium sides.

And yes, even if your table has 47 people we are still gonna pick up the drinks -- and be impressed!

Now, that makes it worth going out on a Tuesday night!

--Joe

Update: to that guy that called me 'accusing me' of using AI for this image. You are correct and you caught me. Our dog cannot actually fly an airplane and I used a computer to generate this 'photo'!
SMH at the silliness...
No....we would never use AI to show you made up food.
but yes...I DO think this is adorable!

It's Tuesday and 'New Soup of The Week Day'!

Italian Chicken Tortellini

Goes great with any of our sandwiches or a salad.

Here is our new Surf & Turf Haus Plate!

** Please share this post if you know someone that might be a great fit for our team! **
Message us, put 'Seeking Job' at the top so we don't miss it.

Belleville, let's talk. Specifically, let's talk kitchen and bar staff.

You know we're a scratch kitchen.
The great thing about that is the food we put out is above average and worth looking forward to.
The challenge is it takes REAL cooks to pull it off.
No offense to a fast food cook - I've been there and done that, and it is HARD.
But - and this is important - what we do is a craft.
It requires someone who not only cares but can actually do real cooking.
And show up and put up.
It's a busy kitchen. It's hot. It's hectic.
We're a close-knit team, so yeah - we get loud in the heat of a rush. (You might've even overheard a "What do you mean you forgot to put my green beans in?!!?" ...sorry about that!) But we've got each other's backs.
And it's incredibly rewarding.

We're growing and getting busier every week, and we're opening the team up to a couple of new people - both kitchen and bar.
One specific need right now is a GREAT prep cook that can work early or late hours when the kitchen is closed. Show up, head down, headphones on and choppy choppy!
Baking skills a BIG plus!
Our style of menu relies on prep work...when service starts that is half the battle.

Here's the deal on the kitchen:

$18/hr base to start.
(new!) - WEEKLY revenue sharing - the busier we get, the more you make and this is shared across the kitchen team, so a prep cook on a slow Tuesday still gets the benefit of us having a slammed Friday night.
Effective pay is currently running $21/hr and up.

We are a place that really values its team, not just 'lip action' but the chance to work with people that support each other at work.

On the bar side we need one more real bartender.
You need to know how to tend bar already, I'm sorry....this particular position is not really a good fit for someone that has never stepped behind a busy bar.

If you - or someone you know - IS that person, let's talk.

Message us, put 'Seeking Job' at the top so we don't miss it.

LOVE a good sing along!!

Wow.....
Took 2 video clips from Saturday night and used a online thing that was just supposed to combine them together with a cool little transition in between them.

Instead it 'AI'd' the hell out of it and made this monstrosity of whatever this is.

Way funny....and super cring.

Luckily, our real party is not at ALL like this.
I mean...yeah, we did the duck dance and jumped around a lot....but at least it was REAL.

The made up AI crap followed by the real deal.
Which would YOU prefer!??!

Perfect bar food??

Well....how about our new 'Loaded Mashed Potato Bites'??

Real mashed potatoes, Bacon, chives -- baked crispy then covered with our queso, brisket chili and more bacon!

The taste is amazing.....

--Joe

PSA:
We are hiring!
If you have mad skills in the kitchen or bar reach out to us.

It's Gift Certificate Give Away Week at Stein Haus!
We're collecting comment cards through the end of THIS weekend and drawing 10 winners next Monday.

Every card has an equal shot.
😁 Saying you love us does NOT increase your chances to win. 😄

What we REALLY need is honest feedback - so we know what to keep doing and what to rethink.
Judy and I have everything invested in Stein Haus — time, money, and passion.

But it only works if it's giving YOU the experience and value you're looking for. So tell us straight and don't pull any punches....we can take it!

What we're giving away:

1 × $50 gift certificate
4 × $25 gift certificates
5 × $10 gift certificates

Have you already had lunch or dinner with us this past week from the new menu but didn't get a comment card?
Just drop us a message and I'll get you entered.

We are asking for the following (whatever you feel like providing)
- What menu item you are reviewing
- What you liked (or didn't) about it
- Did it feel like fair value? (not cheap...but did you get value for your hard earned money?)
- Would you order it again? If not, why not?
- Anything else we're doing well - or could do better?

Leave it in the comments, send a Messenger message, or text me directly at 618-531-2349.
