We seek an experienced Head Waiter / Head Waitress to oversee our front of house.

- Maintaining exceptional cleanliness and organisation.
- Managing the pace of service from opening until closing.
- Creating an outstanding guest experience from arrival to departure.
This is a self-managed role. You will have the freedom to run the front of house your way while upholding the high standards that define La Petite Bretagne.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Previous experience as a Head Waiter, Supervisor, Assistant Manager or similar senior front-of-house position.
- Excellent coffee-making skills (applications without barista experience will not be considered).
- Experience working in busy restaurants. - Exceptional organisational and time-management skills.
- Someone who enjoys working independently and taking ownership.
- Calm under pressure with outstanding attention to detail.
- A warm, confident personality that makes every guest feel welcome.
- Weekend availability is essential and non-negotiable!

- Competitive salary plus generous service charge.
- Complimentary staff meals and exclusive employee discounts.
- Full training and support from day one. - Rotas published a month in advance.
- Consecutive days off.
- A clear pathway to becoming Floor Manager, with promotion opportunities from your first month based on performance.
- Career progression within a growing restaurant brand.
- Recognition programmes and performance-based rewards.
WHO WILL THRIVE HERE? This role suits someone who does not wait to be told what to do.
You are organised, proactive and naturally take ownership.
You enjoy running a restaurant floor, making decisions, solving problems and delivering exceptional hospitality without constant supervision.
