This role is about more than just managing a reservation list; it's about setting the tone for the entire dining experience.

• 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.


• Organized 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!
