• Ability to work quickly under pressure while maintaining accuracy and quality.
• High energy and positivity – you’ll be working in a fast‑paced environment serving hundreds of guests daily.
• A hunger to learn and develop further; we’ll support you during induction, then you’ll help support others once you’re confident.
• In the spirit of kaizen (continuous improvement), you’re always looking for ways to improve and raise standards.
