    Description

    Waiter · £15.00 per hour · Full-time · Kings Cross · Midnight finish ·

    Work with unparalleled views on our 11th floor rooftop bar in central London Spring/Summer seasonal work, April to October, with opportunities to transfer within the hotel's restaurants and bars thereafter.

    The Standard sets the bar high again this spring with the relaunch of The Rooftop in April – an open-air bar and terrace that turns the London skyline into the perfect backdrop for cocktails, beers, and great music. This year, we will celebrate our legendary New York rooftop bars and clubs with New York-style pizza and Italian American snacks

    Open to guests and visitors throughout the summer months and hired out for private events, The Rooftop is the stage for our most striking parties and performances. Joyful, playful, and picturesque, this is a hidden gem set high up and off the beaten path.

    We are now looking for experienced Waiters to join our Rooftop opening team.

    As a Waiter at The Rooftop, you will become part of an exceptional team that will launch this exciting venue onto the London scene.

    You will be passionate about service, very well organised with an exceptional working knowledge of restaurant and bar operations, and order of service. We expect very busy days, so prior experience working in a high-volume venue is important – and a love of the outdoors, as you will be outside all Spring/Summer

    You will have a deep appreciation and knowledge of our menu and bar offering to confidently host our guests and enhance their experience, so you need to be highly social, upbeat, and friendly; confident and able to handle pressure well; thrive in a busy high-volume, high-energy environment and manage multiple tasks and guests with ease.
