  • Working closely with our floor and bar teams to deliver attentive service, including supporting drinks orders when needed.

  • Responding thoughtfully to guest concerns and involving the duty manager where appropriate.

  • Keeping reception organised, menus stocked and guest facilities checked throughout your shift.

  • Following our waste management procedures and supporting Gaucho’s sustainability initiatives.

The successful candidate

  • Has a warm, outgoing manner and enjoys making guests feel welcome.

  • Is organised, reliable and attentive to detail.

  • Communicates clearly, with good telephone etiquette and written English.

  • Stays calm and positive during a busy service.

  • Takes pride in professional presentation and high standards.

  • Is keen to learn and develop their hospitality skills.
