The Help Waiter/Waitress supports the restaurant service team by preparing tables, carrying plates and drinks, clearing and resetting tables, assisting with mise en place, and maintaining a clean, welcoming dining area. Candidates should ideally have previous experience in hospitality, although motivated applicants with a strong willingness to learn may be considered.
