BAR FINCH   Mayfair, London 


Location: 31 Cork Street, Mayfair, London W1S 3NQ 
Hours: Full time, five-day week 
Reports to: Maître d’ and the waiting team 
Start: Immediate 
Bar Finch is an all-day bar and restaurant on Cork Street, in the heart of Mayfair. It is owner-operated and small in scale, taking its lead from the classic Italian aperitivo bar and serving well-made classics, a proper drinks list and old-school European service in a room of quiet, understated luxury. We are open from breakfast through to the aperitivo hour, five days a week.


We are a small business and we want Bar Finch to be a place people are glad to come to work. We hold high standards and we keep them without shouting or drama, on the view that good work comes from a calm, well-run and respectful environment. We train our people properly, we promote from within, and we look after the team with a proper benefits package and welfare support. Our team has trained at St John, Chez Panisse, Rules, Andrew Edmunds and Rita’s, amongst others. 


The role 
As a Runner you keep service moving: bringing food and drink to the table, supporting the waiters, and keeping the floor in good order. It is a first step into front-of-house, and a role we use to bring people on. You will report to the Maître d’ and the waiting team. 


Responsibilities 

  • Run food and drink from the kitchen and bar to the right tables, promptly and correctly. 
  • Support the waiters across the section: clearing, resetting, water, bread and replenishing. 
  • Keep service stations, cutlery, crockery and linen stocked and in order. 
  • Keep service areas clean and tidy throughout. 
  • Learn the menu, the allergens and the sequence of service. 
  • Communicate clearly with the kitchen and the floor. 
  • Help with opening and closing the restaurant. 

What we are looking for 

  • No formal experience is needed. The right attitude, energy and willingness to learn matter most. 
  • Quick on your feet, observant and reliable. 
  • A team player who wants a career in hospitality. 
  • Good timekeeping and a smart, tidy presentation. 

Developing with us 
This is a genuine development role. We will train you properly and support your progression to Commis Waiter and Waiter for those who show they want it. 


Pay and benefits 

  • Pay: £13.50, plus a share of the service charge. 
  • Paid holiday in line with statutory entitlement (28 days pro rata, including bank holidays). 
  • A staff meal on every shift. 
  • An excellent benefits package, including staff welfare support. 
  • Structured training, with supplier visits, tastings and events. 
  • Genuine career progression in a growing, owner-operated business.
