Job description

Overview

Waiter

At KOL, part of the MJMK Restaurants group, we source and celebrate the finest expressions of British ingredients, championing wild food and seasonality to create dishes that reflect the bright, fresh flavours of Mexican cooking. The kitchen team is headed up by Chef Patron Santiago Lastra and was awarded a Michelin star in 2022, followed by being named 23rd in the World’s 50 Best in 2023 and rising to 17th in 2024. Respect and understanding are central to our work. Before ingredients and dishes, we invest in the people and producers who trust us to represent their culture and traditions and our team also reflects this. As KOL continues its success, we’re looking for a Waiter to join the team who will oversee the guest experience, from the moment they sit down, right through to the end of their meal.

As a Waiter at KOL, we can offer you:

• Work/life balance with a four-day working week.
• 50% staff discount across all MJMK Restaurants
• Free staff meals while on shift.
• Up to £500 team referral bonus.
• Opportunity to develop your career with MJMK Restaurants
• Mental health and well-being assistance with Hospitality Action who can offer free advice and counselling if you’re struggling at work or at home.
• An enhanced pension plan after you’ve worked with us for 5 years.

What a KOL Waiter is

• A team-player. We believe that our people are stronger together and support each other, no matter what department they work in.
• Passionate and knowledgeable about food, wine and hospitality.
• Able to exceed guests’ expectations, by following KOL Service Steps and bringing their own personality to the guest journey.
• Responsible for their knowledge and learning in their job role, always looking to consistently be the best.
• Able to work with integrity, excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re an experienced Waiter and you’re up for a new challenge and the opportunity to work alongside Santiago Lastra.
