Job description

Full Time Waiter - Bring your hospitality to the table at Hobo Copenhagen

You know how to make a service flow. You notice the details, read your guests and understand that a warm welcome can set the tone for an entire visit. Now you’re ready to help build something new.

We’re looking for experienced waiters to join Hobo Copenhagen in full-time positions within our all-day bar & café, evening à la carte restaurant and breakfast team.

Whether you feel most at home in a lively dinner service or enjoy the variety of different settings, we’d love to hear from you. Your experience, personality and interests will help shape where you fit best within our F&B team.

Good service starts with us

Together with the Bar & Restaurant Manager and your F&B colleagues, you’ll help create welcoming spaces and enjoyable experiences throughout the day. Your role will include:

Looking after your section with care, making guests feel welcome and keeping service flowing from their first hello to their last goodbye.

Bringing the menu to life with your own favourites and thoughtful recommendations, sharing your enthusiasm while staying curious about what each guest enjoys.

Bringing your own style of hospitality to your service, adapting to the atmosphere and the people around you.

Staying connected with the kitchen and bar, communicating guest preferences and dietary requirements clearly and finding the right pace together.

Getting ready for service as a team, keeping your station organised and leaving colleagues well prepared for the next shift.

Listening to guests and handling feedback with warmth, with your colleagues and manager there to support you.

Sharing ideas and experience as we develop our service style, daily routines and team culture ahead of opening.

What you bring

You have solid à la carte waiting experience, ideally at least two years, and feel confident managing your own section in a busy restaurant.

You care about people as much as the practical side of service. You notice when a guest needs guidance, when a table needs space and when a colleague could use a hand. You take responsibility, follow through and keep your attention on the room when the pace picks up.

You bring a positive, collaborative approach and enjoy supporting the people around you. Let us know which service setting you enjoy most, whether that’s evening à la carte, daytime hospitality or a mix.

You communicate confidently in English. Knowledge of wine, cocktails or speciality coffee is a welcome bonus, along with the curiosity to keep learning and share what you know.

What you’ll be part of

At Hobo, we bring a professional, passionate and playful approach to hospitality. We want high standards to feel natural, personal and welcoming.

You’ll join during the opening journey, with the opportunity to influence our service, routines and team culture from the beginning. We offer close collaboration with the F&B leadership team, room to contribute and colleagues who care about their craft.

Hobo Copenhagen is part of Strawberry, alongside hotels such as Admiral Hotel and Villa Copenhagen. We bring our own personality to that wider hospitality family, with access to development opportunities, staff hotel rates and food and beverage benefits.

First impressions matter to us, and we’d love to get a sense of the person behind the CV. Tell us where you’ve worked, what good hospitality means to you and how you make a guest feel welcome from the very first interaction. Bring the same warmth and personality you would bring to a table.
