Waiter

Wahaca


Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Edinburgh
Salary: £17.5 - £19 per hour
Contract type: Full time

At Wahaca, we're all about fresh Mexican food, great people and a little bit of sunshine in every shift. Everything we do is rooted in our founders' values - taking pride in what we do, staying humble, choosing integrity, having fun and thinking positively.

We're looking for waiters who love hospitality:

  • Lead with warmth and personality

  • Bring positive energy to every shift

  • Love connecting with people

  • Thrive in a fast-paced, buzzing environment

  • Take initiative in providing personalised, warm and genuine experience


Do you own "Aspirational Service"?

  • Anticipate needs before our guests ask

  • Talk about food and drink with genuine passion sharing Wahaca stories and your personal recommendations

  • Stay calm and confident under pressure

  • Support your team without hesitation

  • Take ownership of every table and every guest


People do their best work when they feel looked after - and when our teams thrive, so do our guests. That's why we care just as much about creating a supportive, inclusive place to work as we do about the food we serve - and why we offer a range of great benefits:

FINANCIAL:

  • 70% off food when dining at Wahaca with up to 3 friends

  • Earn £100 to celebrate your probation and up to £1000 through friend referrals

  • Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption pay

  • Early access to wages, financial support and discounts through Stream


HEALTH AND WELLBEING:

  • Free, nutritious meal every time you work, freshly made by our talented chefs

  • Support from our Employee Assistance Programme, The Burnt Chef Project

  • Time off for when needed; like your child's first day at school


DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL:

  • Own development plan - we are committed to growing our people from within

  • Our very own Masterchef and Cocktail competitions

  • Unwind at one of our many events across the year such as WOW Fest!

  • Celebrate your milestones with a flight to Mexico at 2 years, and a 4-week sabbatical at 5 years


Wahaca was founded by Thomasina Miers and Mark Selby, inspired by a love of the vibrant food of Mexico and a mission to bring its bold flavours to the UK - using great British produce and ingredients sourced with care.

Experience is welcome - but attitude is everything.

If you believe hospitality is about how you make people feel, we want to meet you.
