    WAITER New opening — premium Italian restaurant, Hampton Court We're a hospitality group that has been running restaurants in this area for 20 years.

We're hiring the full kitchen and front of house team from scratch — every role full time. We're looking for people who want to build something, not just fill a shift. The food is proper Italian cooking with a modern hand: good ingredients, treated properly, served well. The standards are high and we won't pretend otherwise. What we offer back is a company that pays on time, plans ahead, and promotes from within. FREE ACCOMMODATION IS AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF THESE ROLES. START DATE: ASAP, ahead of the opening. You'll be in from the soft opening, setting the place up with us. THE ROLE You'll be working the floor in a 70-cover restaurant, with a team that's being built from scratch. Proper service, done properly: you know your section, you read the room, you don't need chasing. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR — At least two years' restaurant experience in London, ideally somewhere busy — Solid knowledge of table service — Someone who works well in a team, not around it — Good English — you'll need to understand, be understood, and write clearly — Available full time, shifts across all seven days — The right to live and work in the UK These are requirements, not a wish list. If you're missing one of them, this isn't the right role for you. WHAT YOU GET — Contract from day one — Full time position — One free meal every shift — Uniform provided — Two days off a week — Monthly payslip — Service charge and tips shared — 28 days holiday — Paid training, with structured training every three months — Real progression, we have further openings planned — A group that has traded for twenty years, including the hard years — Paid trial shift — The chance to open a restaurant from day one, not join one already running HOURS: Full time, 40 to 48 hours per week, shifts across all seven days

    BURGER CHEF – PINKY We’re looking for an experienced Burger Chef to join the opening team at Pinky, our new burger bar. This is a hands-on role for someone with strong experience cooking burgers in both restaurant and high-volume takeaway environments. You’ll understand that a great burger operation is all about consistency, speed and attention to detail — every burger leaving the kitchen should be exactly as it was designed. You’ll be expected to follow recipes, cooking methods, portioning and service protocols precisely, while keeping your section exceptionally clean, organised and ready for a busy service. Pinky has an open, counter-style setup, so this isn’t a kitchen where you disappear behind the scenes. You’ll be cooking directly opposite guests sitting at the counter. We want someone comfortable talking to people, with good conversational skills and a genuine sense of natural hospitality. What we’re looking for • Extensive burger/grill experience, • Experience in both restaurant and takeaway/delivery environments, • Excellent attention to detail and consistency, • Ability to follow exact recipes, specifications and service protocols, • Fast, clean and highly organised during busy services, • Strong understanding of food safety and kitchen standards, • A genuine team player with a positive attitude, • Confident and comfortable working in front of guests, • Good conversational and communication skills, • Someone who naturally enjoys hospitality and making people feel welcome We’re building Pinky around great burgers, great drinks, music and personality. We want chefs who understand that even in a fast, casual environment, the details matter and hospitality should never feel transactional. If you’re proud of what you cook, enjoy a fast-paced service and like being part of the atmosphere rather than hidden away from it, we’d like to hear from you.
