We’ve heard it all.

Because you’re an outstanding Food & Beverage Assistant or a Bartender you’ll know exactly how to deal with such requests (believe me, there will be weirder) – this means you won’t be scared of the unknown, you’ll actually love it! You’ll also know Angela, (one of your favourite regulars) is partial to trying whatever special is on the menu, so she gives you the nod and you have it on order; but you’ll be just as passionate about ensuring each and every guest receives the same treatment, paying attention to those little details, that makes them leave with a smile.

• Ensuring that all guests experience an outstanding level of service throughout their stay

• Engage, build and develop relationships with guests, assessing their needs and flexing style and approach appropriately
• Being attentive to all guests and looking for opportunities to up-sell and make recommendations to enhance their experience
• Responding promptly to guest complaints and finding ways to turnaround any negative feedback
• Keeping up to date with hotel facilities, promotions and the local market area, so as to be able to effectively assist guests
• Looking for ways to deliver continuous improvements to the guest experience.

What’ll make you a great fit for this Food & Beverage Guest Service Assistant role

• You’ll enjoy using tech – we have lots of it to make your life easier and our guests experience more seamless
• You’ll love people – and as a result, have great interpersonal and communication skills
• Details? You love them! You’ll be incredibly attentive with guests as a result
• Flexible and able to remain focused on results under pressure and to challenging deadlines
• Self-motivated and confident
• Hard-working but FUN!
