About the Role
Great restaurant memories come from many places. The sights, the sounds, the scents and, most importantly, the service. As a part of the Restaurants and Bars Team, you will welcome our guests, recommend food and drinks and deliver exceptional service, helping to create unforgettable memories!
To ensure a seamless guest experience, it's essential to take and process orders accurately, confirming them with the guest for clarity. You should be well-versed in the current menus and beverage lists, actively engaging in upselling and making recommendations while addressing any queries. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness is crucial; not only should you meet hygiene standards, but you should strive to exceed them. Familiarity with stock management and the proper rotation of perishable items is necessary, along with efficiently setting up and packing down the venues you service.
