About you

You should naturally enjoy looking after people and helping them feel comfortable. A genuine interest in food and drink is important. Previous experience in hospitality as a waiter/waitress, bar tender, barista, or food and beverage assistant in a pub, restaurant, hotel, or bar would be useful, though it is not required.

Most importantly, you should be practical, positive, and able to bring life experience to a busy service environment while giving customers the best possible experience.
