Restaurant Waiter

Description

We are seeking a waiter for a restaurant, offering a temporary contract with part-time or full-time hours depending on availability. The primary responsibility is to attend to customers in a friendly and efficient manner, ensuring an enjoyable experience from the moment they enter until they depart. Daily tasks include greeting guests, presenting the menu, accurately taking orders, and recommending dishes or beverages based on their preferences. You will also serve food and drinks at the table while maintaining presentation standards and proper temperature, and remain attentive to any requests or issues that may arise. **Additionally, the role involves bar duties:** preparing drinks, keeping the bar area tidy, and managing stock control. You will also handle cash register transactions accurately and provide correct change. Cleaning and organization are ongoing responsibilities—from setting tables to arranging furniture and utensils. Close coordination with the kitchen and other team members is essential to ensure smooth service in a dynamic and often fast-paced environment, ideal for organized individuals with strong adaptability. This position is key to creating a welcoming atmosphere, as the waiter serves as the establishment’s visible face. Punctuality, professional personal appearance, and commitment to service excellence are highly valued. The job may require standing for extended periods and handling pressure during peak hours. It is a varied role combining practical skills with a hospitable attitude. At least one year of proven experience in similar positions within the hospitality industry is required, including knowledge of service protocols. In-depth knowledge of wines—including grape varieties, food pairings, and basic service techniques—is essential. Proficiency in ham carving is considered a positive asset, though not mandatory. Candidates must possess an intermediate level of English (B2 equivalent) to serve international guests and understand specific menu terminology. We seek individuals with strong presence, effective communication skills, and the ability to perform well under pressure in a dynamic setting.
