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!
