Les Menuires welcomes guests from all around the world but has a high population of native-French speakers visiting throughout the winter season – So, as the name suggests, French speaking is a vital element of this role! You will be confident in both French and English to welcome guests and show them to their table, take their food and drink order, answer any questions they might have about the menu and deal with any problems that might arise.

You will be required not only to work behind the bar and on the terrasse but also in the hotel restaurant, even the pot wash if necessary and when it comes to changing over the hotel for new guests our motto is ‘teamwork makes the dream work!’. We thrive on positive, can-do individuals who share our teamwork ethos – Our job adverts will give you a good flavour for each job role but other duties within the scope of each role may be required and definitely experienced!

What skills and experience will I need to be a French Speaking Bar Person Waiter/Waitress?

• As the name suggests, a proficient level of spoken French is essential… and it really must be much more than just a Bonjour!
• Previous bar or restaurant experience
• Previous customer facing work preferably in a hospitality setting.
• Cash and card handling experience in a busy environment.
• Enjoys working within a large team - but can show initiative and work independently if needed!
• Confident in juggling multiple tasks and knowing when to prioritise
