Food Runner - Fixed-Term Contract

Are you looking for a short-term role to earn some extra cash over the holidays? Then this is the job for you!

Up to £12.21 per hour plus Tronc

As a food runner, you'll be the bridge between our busy kitchen and our hungry customers. You'll work closely with the whole restaurant team to deliver picture-perfect dishes to tables and make sure the restaurant is always looking fabulous. This role is all about bringing the buzz and helping us create a standout dining experience.

We’re looking for individuals who have:

• A passion for food. You'll be the final touchpoint for every dish before it reaches our customers, so we need people who genuinely care about the dining experience.
• An eye for detail. You'll need to know which dish goes to which table and spot if something isn't quite right, ensuring our dishes always look picture-perfect.
• The stamina needed for the role. Our restaurants get busy, and you'll need to be on your feet, moving quickly and efficiently, all while keeping a positive and calm attitude.
• A strong sense of teamwork and a helpful nature. Your ability to work seamlessly with both the kitchen and front-of-house teams is key to our success. We value people who are proactive, quick-thinking, and who take pride in their work.

What's in it for you?

• Treat yourself and your friends with 50% off at Zizzi & ASK Italian (drinks included).
• Never go hungry with free & heavily discounted menu on shift.
• Get rewarded by your customers with a generous tronc system.
• Wagestream available to instantly access earned wages.
• Make the most of your time off work with discounts on cinema tickets, travel websites, and big brands.
• Stay in touch with our online Zizzi community, which also provides access to your rotas and payslips.
• Need some support? We have a free Employee Assistance Programme with access to GPs and wellbeing support.
• Look the part with Zizzi-branded T-shirts and aprons provided.

We are Zizzi. At Zizzi, we are a family. It's never "me," always "we." Our customers are part of that, too. If this sounds like the perfect festive role for you, we'd love to hear from you!
