Your role in the show Joining the team at MyLahore means that you are part of the MyLahore team. When we invite friends and team into our homes we think of them as guests, and we act accordingly. So, when our guests choose to come and dine with us, we treat them like their guests in our house. At MyLahore we promise to provide a “welcomtastic” place for all our guests and our teams, and being cast in the role of a server in the team means that you’ll be the key to making this promise a reality, time and time again.
Sure, you’ll be carrying out the tasks described below as part of your day-to-day duties, but far more important is how you view your role in helping our guests have the most incredible experience possible when they’re with us. You are the face of MyLahore to our guests, the heart and soul of how we do what we do. You’ll work closely with your fellow MyLahore team members, ensuring the highest standards are met and exceeded; driving our guests' experience into orbit which in turn makes all of us successful. And, you’ll be having fun whilst you work because having guests over to eat should never be a chore, right?!
Who’s the big cheese? Everybody wants to know who their boss will be and, in your role, ultimately, it’ll be the Team Leader who will take care of you, giving you direction, recognition, and support. They are supported as well by Shift Leaders, who are also there to coach, support, and motivate the team to deliver the kind of guest experience we aspire to.
What will I do?
- Welcome guests with a mile-wide smile and attention that tells them how pleased we are to see them.
- Ensure the table is set and it’s looking spick and span, ready for our guests to sit down and relax.
- Proudly present our menus, talking passionately about the menu options, explaining how dishes are prepared.
- Make suggestions, based on your preferences and consider what best complements the guest’s needs, genuinely striving to ensure they make the right choices for them as they place their order with you.
- Teamwork. Like nothing you’ve experienced before, working closely with your fellow MyLahore team members on shift is essential to having a fun and successful day at work.
- Resolve any issues or concerns that guests may have with speed, professionalism, and good humour, never taking personally any criticism that might come your way.
- Be attentive and keep an eye on your guests, topping up drinks or offering additional suggestions to make their experience even better.
- Ensuring guests have everything they need and are happily (but not uncomfortably) full at the end of their meal, before dealing with the final tasks of issuing the bill and accepting payment from them.
- Thanking our guests for choosing to dine with us and to allow us to show them what we can do.
- Maintaining the guest areas to ensure the highest possible standards of cleanliness and presentation.
- Be open and adaptable to taking on tasks and duties that your manager or a colleague asks you to assist with.
- Actively attend and participate in scheduled team meetings and shift briefings, making suggestions and taking on board the ideas of others that lead to continually improving what we do and how we do it.
What we’re looking for in our next team member:
- A passion to serve and take care of others.
- A customer mindset that sees our guests as the reason for our work, not an interruption to it.
- Prior experience in a customer-focused role, serving guests in a hospitality or retail environment.
- A desire to solve problems for guests, liking nothing more than knowing that you’ve not just fixed a problem but blown away the guest’s expectations in doing so.
- A team player who looks to support others, going out of their way to help someone in need.
- A strong belief in personal responsibility and integrity, doing what you say you’ll do when you say you’ll do it, even if no one is looking!
- An eye for detail and attention to cleanliness and safety for our guests and team members.
This is not a complete list of all the things you’ll be getting involved in as a key player in the MyLahore team. We must all be open-minded and adaptable to ensure we take on board new duties, new ideas, and new responsibilities, with always the aim to enhance the guest experience in mind. We are a team. We work together in a manner that promotes equality of opportunity; dignity and due respect for all our employees, our guests, and other partners which we proudly describe in our company’s equal opportunities policy.
