  • Consistently deliver exceptional customer service to support strong CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) scores, ensuring every customer receives a welcoming, helpful, and memorable experience.
  • As part of this role you will be working and in contact with a variety of different ingredients including dairy, nuts, meat products including pork
What we’ll look for in you
  • You are customer obsessed - you put customers first in every interaction
  • You’re flexible, able to work across the weekends and evenings
  • You have previous experience working closely with a team and you’ll ideally have prior work experience in a similar environment
  • You are a friendly, hard-working individual who loves to provide a joyful customer dining experience
  • You are a team player who never fails to contribute and loves the satisfaction of a job well done and a smile on our customers faces
