Host - 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

Are you a natural conversationalist who loves making people feel welcome? We're looking for individuals who can be the life and soul of the restaurant, greeting every guest with warmth and a genuine smile. This role is about more than just managing a reservation list; it's about setting the tone for the entire dining experience.

We're looking for people who are:

• Confident and personable. You'll be the first and last person our guests see, so you need to be comfortable engaging with all kinds of people and making them feel right at home.
• Chatty and a great conversationalist. We want people who can build a quick rapport, whether it's asking about their day or recommending a favourite dish.
• Organised and detail oriented. You'll be managing the flow of the restaurant, juggling reservations, and seating guests efficiently, all while keeping a calm and friendly demeanour.
• The life and soul of the party. Your positive energy and enthusiastic attitude will help create a lively and welcoming atmosphere that keeps our guests coming back for more.

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!
