A restaurant expeditor at My Delhi plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth flow of operations in our restaurants. Their primary responsibility is to coordinate between the kitchen and the serving staff to ensure that orders are prepared correctly and delivered to customers in a timely manner.
Our ideal candidate has experience working in high volume restaurants, and supporting the Head Chef by leading the pass from the FOH side. Our Lead Expo should lead with clear communication, a great working pace, and be able to remain calm and composed throughout service.
As this is a key role in a new restaurant opening, the successful candidate should be confident to deliver training to new members of the team. The initial training period for the successful candidate will require approximately 7-10 days of training in our sister sites in the North East of England, so travel and working away is required for this initial time period.
