You will work closely with the kitchen, bar, servers, hosts and supervisors to make sure food and drinks reach guests quickly, tables and areas are kept clean and presentable, and guests receive friendly and attentive service throughout their visit.

This is a fast-paced role that would suit someone who enjoys being on their feet, working as part of a team and being around a busy hospitality and entertainment environment.

• Support servers and supervisors throughout service
• Ensure food is delivered to the correct table and guest
• Assist with clearing and resetting tables and guest areas

You don't necessarily need years of experience. We can teach the right person our systems and service standards, but you must have a great attitude, be willing to learn and be comfortable working as part of a busy team.

You'll need to be someone who notices when a table needs clearing, when a colleague needs support or when something needs doing, and gets on with it.
