New Anna Maria Oyster Bar location seeks to hire 80 people

A restaurant in the Sarasota-Bradenton is hosting an upcoming job fair to pull off a tough feat in the hospitality industry — filling 80 positions.  

The newest Anna Maria Oyster Bar at The Square at University Town Center is opening soon, so the parent company Oysters Rock Hospitality set up a pair of job fairs. The first one was Sunday, May 7. The next job fair will be Saturday, May 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the UTC location. 

“(Sunday’s) job fair was successful,” a company spokesperson writes in an email exchange with the Business Observer, “but we’re noticing that the traction seems to be growing more and more each day during the drop-in periods.”
