Food & Beverage Attendant - Part Time
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Food & Beverage Attendant provides friendly, efficient service in the hotel’s restaurant, bar, events and room-service areas. Typical duties include welcoming guests, taking orders, serving food and beverages, clearing and setting tables, processing payments, maintaining cleanliness and following food-safety procedures. Applicants should have strong customer-service and communication skills, a professional presentation, reliable work habits and the ability to work effectively in a busy team. Previous hospitality experience is helpful but not always essential. Availability for part-time shifts, including weekends, evenings and public holidays, is expected. An RSA certificate may be required if serving alcohol, and candidates should have Australian work rights.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Only Core Skills list jobs (chef, cook, hotel manager) can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423 a year or more; waiters and room attendants are not on the list.
Watch for: The Far North Queensland (Cairns) regional agreement lists waiter, bar and housekeeping supervisors and night auditors, with a pay floor 10% lower.
