We’re looking for a Waiter/Waitress to join us over the festive period on a Fixed Term Contract who thrives on variety and loves working with people. In this role, you’ll rotate between positions like running food, serving our guests, keeping the restaurant floor clean and tidy or preparing drinks. No two shifts are the same — and that’s what makes it exciting.

If you're upbeat, quick on your feet, and always ready to pitch in, you'll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

• Greet and assist guests with enthusiasm and care
• Take and serve orders, answer menu questions, and handle transactions
• Run food, clear tables, and ensure a clean, welcoming environment
• Monitor guest flow and seating plans and support guests waiting
• Adapt to different FOH roles as needed throughout the day
• Communicate clearly with team members to ensure smooth service

What We're Looking For

• A people‑person with a naturally positive and professional attitude
• Comfortable multitasking in a fast‑paced, high‑energy setting
• Strong communicator who enjoys working in a team
• Dependable, punctual, and always ready to learn
• Prior experience in customer facing role or hospitality is a plus

The good stuff.

• Awesome pay rates including service charge with part time and full‑time hours available
• We pay all our teams fortnightly because who doesn’t love a payday?
• Every shift you work, we’ve got you covered with meals from our employee menu (thanks Chef)!
• We’re here for the curious, so it’s no surprise there are loads of opportunities when it comes to internal development programmes, we have some big plans coming this year!
• Access your next pay early through our Stream partnership
