What do you do in a Waiting job?
What do you do in a Waiting job?
When hungry customers looking for a cheeky
pint visit their nearest pub or restaurant for a catch-up with friends and
family, Waiting Staff are the friendly faces who serve up your delicious food
and refreshing drinks. The unsung heroes of the restaurant and pub industry!
Our Waiting staff love the lively atmosphere
and social nature of the work at Greene King. If you are looking for a job that
combines your love for food and drinks with meeting great people every single
day, then Waiting could be the perfect fit for you.
Wondering what you’ll be up to and what it
takes to become a familiar face that locals know and love? Look no further:
What will my day look like?
As people flock in and out of your pub or
restaurant, one thing will stay the same - your enthusiasm for the job. It will
shine through as you convert casual customers into lifelong fans.
Here’s what you can expect to be doing
day-to-day:
●
Greeting customers and seating
them
●
Taking orders from customers
●
Catering to special requests -
ensuring people with allergies are safe
●
Serving food and drinks on time
●
Answering customer questions
●
Handling cash or card payments
●
Keeping the dining area clean and
tidy
What qualities do you need for a
waiting job?
As Waiting staff, you put people at ease and
make them feel special. And it takes a certain kind of person to make others
feel special. We are looking for people with pints of personality to greet
customers with a warm smile, and deliver a 5-star customer service experience.
Have you got what it takes? You’ll be…
●
Attentive - you’ll be working in a
bustling pub or restaurant with a lot of customers with different requests and
orders. Paying attention will help you get orders right every single time.
●
Enthusiastic - our pubs host a
lively atmosphere and you are a big part of that. Bringing enthusiasm to the
table will keep our customers coming back.
●
Friendly and welcoming - this is
the only hack you need to become a familiar face our customers know and love. A
smile goes a long way!
●
Team player - serving up orders
wouldn’t be possible without the bar and kitchen staff and you’ll need to work
with them closely to pour happiness into lives.
What experience do you need?
Some jobs require previous waiting experience,
but here at Greene King, we grow together. This means we learn together
and will train you in your waiting role. Bring your great personality and work
ethic and you’ll be good to go!
We want to make Greene King a place where all
team members feel safe being who they are, so each person can reach their full
potential and thrive at work.
Find a job that makes you happy
This job is more than serving up orders, it is
a chance to become a part of your community and pour happiness into lives.
Every day is different for Waiting Staff and
this is what makes the job like no other. You’ll meet new people from all walks
of life and your team will be there supporting you at every step of the way.
Join us to experience a rewarding career with Greene King.
