We’re looking for a Food & Beverage Assistant to join us at Kinloch Hotel, creating relaxed, memorable experiences and helping every guest feel genuinely welcome on the Isle of Arran.
About This Role
As a Food & Beverage Assistant, you’ll help deliver warm, attentive service across Kinloch’s restaurant and bar. You’ll welcome guests, take accurate orders, answer menu questions, serve food and drinks, handle payments and keep tables and service areas clean, organised and inviting.
