Restaurant Team Member

Restaurant Team Member – Caterham

Silk Road is recruiting part-time Restaurant Team Members for our Caterham restaurant.

This is a flexible hospitality role covering different areas of the restaurant, including waiting and table service, bar and beverages, food preparation, kitchen support, curry assembly, grill and tandoor work, food running and order pass.

You do not need experience in every area. We provide structured training, and as your skills develop you can be trained and certified across additional parts of the restaurant.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Reliable and punctual

Comfortable following clear procedures

Willing to learn and work across different areas

Calm and accurate when the restaurant is busy

Honest when something goes wrong

Respectful towards customers and colleagues

Open to feedback and improvement

Able to work as part of a team

Previous restaurant, bar, kitchen, retail or customer-service experience can be useful, but it is not essential for every applicant. We are more interested in reliability, attitude and willingness to learn our system.

WHAT YOU MAY DO

Depending on your training and certification, your duties may include:

Waiting and table service

Taking orders and using the POS/till

Bar and beverage preparation

Food preparation

Curry and food assembly

Tandoor, chargrill and hot-line work

Food running and order pass

Kitchen support and replenishment

Opening, cleaning and closing duties

This is a flexible Restaurant Team Member role. You may initially spend more time in the area where you are strongest, but Team Members are expected to learn additional stations and may be rostered across different areas once trained and competent.

HOURS

Part-time.

Typical contracted hours are around 6–12 hours per week, with opportunities for additional shifts depending on your availability, performance and the needs of the restaurant.

Evening and weekend availability is particularly useful.
