Job description

About RUNA

RUNA is a new casual fine dining restaurant in central Stockholm, where Nordic precision meets Peruvian soul. We are built on storytelling, warmth, and high-level execution.

About the Role

As Waiter / Server at RUNA, you guide guests through their entire experience – from first greeting to final farewell. You present food and drinks, read the room, and work closely with the rest of the team to deliver relaxed but precise service.

Sommelier studies, WSET or similar certifications, or strong wine interest are highly meritorious, as you will actively contribute to our wine and beverage experience.

Our Culture – Passion Over a Golden CV

At RUNA, passion matters more than a perfect CV. We look for people who want to build something with us, grow in their careers, and treat the restaurant as if it were their own. We are not interested in constant staff rotation – we invest in people who want to invest in us.

We work as one team without big egos. Everyone’s voice is heard, and we expect ideas, feedback, and contributions from all colleagues. You don’t just work for us – you work with us, and you are part of shaping what RUNA becomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Run your own section and ensure a warm, professional guest journey.

• Welcome guests, present the menu, and explain dishes and concept.

• Recommend food, wine, and beverage choices in line with guest preferences.

• Take orders, serve food and drinks, and manage payments accurately.

• Support wine and beverage service together with the bar and senior FOH.

• Handle guest feedback and minor service recovery with calm and care.

• Help with opening, closing, and daily setup/cleanup of the dining room.

• Work closely with colleagues to keep service smooth and coordinated.

Who You Are

• Experience as Waiter / Server in a quality-focused restaurant.

• Comfortable carrying a section and staying organised in a busy service.

• Strong interest in wine and beverages; sommelier or WSET studies are a plus.

• Warm, attentive, and confident in guest communication.

• Low ego, high teamwork – you support others and value a good atmosphere.

• Looking for a place to grow and stay, not just “any job”.

• Fluent in Swedish and English.

• Available for evening and weekend shifts.

• Right to work in Sweden.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and tips.

• Paid holiday, pension, staff meals, and health benefit (friskvårdsbidrag).

• Wine and service training, tastings, and development opportunities.

• A supportive, ambitious team where your ideas and input are welcome.

How to Apply

Submit your CV and a short cover letter describing your service experience, interest in wine, and why you want to grow with RUNA.
