• Adhere to health, safety, and hygiene protocols, including safe handling of hot plates and beverages.
• Report maintenance or guest issues to supervisors promptly and assist with minor guest requests.
• Participate in pre‑opening training and follow established SOPs to ensure consistent service delivery.

• Good physical stamina and the ability to move quickly across the venue for extended periods.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills; ability to follow instructions and coordinate with multiple teams.
• Attention to detail to ensure orders are delivered correctly and tables are reset to standard.
• Calm under pressure and able to work in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment.
• Flexible availability including evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
• Professional presentation and punctuality.
• Valid UAE work authorization or clear visa status; include visa details in your application.
• Positive attitude and reliability—pre‑opening roles require adaptability and a proactive approach.

What We Offer
