Job description
Head Waiter
Part of the MJMK group, Lisboeta, literally meaning ‘a person from Lisbon’, celebrates the lifestyle, tradition, and emotion of belonging. The restaurant is Chef Patron Nuno Mendes’ love letter to Lisbon, the city he grew up in and the place he calls home. Guests are welcome throughout the day to share traditional and contemporary ‘Petiscos’ – an array of small plates – alongside larger offerings of ‘Tachos & Travessas’ and an eclectic and extensive Portuguese wine list. We opened Lisboeta in the Spring of 2022 to critical acclaim and as the restaurant continues its success, we’re looking for a Head Waiter to join the team.
As a Head Waiter at Lisboeta, we can offer you:
- 25% staff discount across all MJMK sites
- Up to £1000 team referral bonus, split between you and the new team member
- Opportunity to develop your career with MJMK as we expand in the near future
- Mental health and well-being assistance with Hospitality Action who can offer free advice and counselling if you’re struggling at work or at home
- Free staff meals and drinks while on shift
- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay, after your first year with us
- An extra day’s holiday every year you’re with us
- An enhanced pension plan and the opportunity to take a sabbatical for a month, with two weeks paid by MJMK, after you’ve worked with us for 5 years
A Lisboeta Head Waiter is:
- A team-player. We believe that our people are stronger together and support each other, no matter what department they work in
- Passionate about food, wine and hospitality
- Responsible for their knowledge and learning in their job role, always looking to consistently be the best
- Able to work with integrity, excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills
We’d love to hear from you if you’re an experienced Head Waiter and you’re up for a new challenge and the opportunity to work alongside Nuno Mendes. Bem-vindo à nossa casa; welcome to our home.
