Front of House Crew - Vapiano Tower Bridge

The Company: Vapiano is a laid-back Italian restaurant, making the ultimate handmade fresh pasta, pizza and insalata in over 130 locations around the world and 6 here in the UK. Our restaurants are spacious, full of natural light with plenty of seats - think sharing tables and lounge seating. You can sit where you like and stay as long as you want. The laid-back vibes and great music make us one of the places to go and eat. Our service is relaxed, inviting and casual, with orders usually taken via QR codes at the table, followed by table service from the team. We are a growing hospitality company with multiple locations planned to open each year ahead.

The Role: We are looking for outgoing, positive, energetic, and hardworking individuals who take delight in service to join our front-of-house team. This role will centre around providing natural, fun, friendly, and quality service to all guests while ensuring that the restaurant is clean and well-stocked at all times.

You will likely have:

• Outgoing and energetic personality
• Excellent attention to detail
• Good organisational skills
• Positive, active and team-oriented approach to work
• The ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment
• Good command of the English language

What’s the job like? Our front-of-house team are friendly and social, and can spot a customer with a question a mile away! We have open kitchens so that our chefs and front of house all work as one. We believe everyone plays a part in giving our guests a great experience, so we distribute our tips equally to everyone on the shift, meaning you will get approximately £2 extra per hour in tips no matter the role! Evenings and weekends are our busiest times, so you’ll likely need to be available to work at those times too! You will also have the opportunity to train in different departments, providing lots of opportunities to learn something new and keep your job varied and exciting. There will be many natural opportunities to progress; 2 of our General Managers started their careers with us as Kitchen Porters!
