Company Description

Waiter

Full time, permanent role

The Hoxton is getting ready to open its doors in Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region and home to some of the world’s most famous masterpieces of Renaissance art, architecture and monuments. This eye-candy city is packed with culture and is the birthplace of gelato – we did not need any persuading to make it our second home in the country.

The Hoxton in Florence will feature 161 beautiful bedrooms of varying sizes, a large ground floor restaurant, bar, lobby, rooftop and courtyard. There is also a basement meeting and events space.

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

Job Description

What you’ll do…

·  Simply put - you’re the face of our guests’ experience and you bring your own flavour to the(ir) table, making sure that from the moment they arrive to when they leave, they’re having a great time.
·  Work with the F&B team in keeping things running smoothly.
·  Create a fun and relaxed atmosphere where guests come to wind down and enjoy themselves.
·  Provide a genuinely welcoming and memorable experience for our guests, from a Hox welcome, to handling any questions and helping out with requests.
·  Anticipate needs and proactively provide solutions so that our guests’ expectations are not only met but exceeded.

Qualifications

What we’re looking for…

·  Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
·  Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
·  You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
·  We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
·  You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
·  If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
·  You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
·  If you have previous experience, great! But it’s not a must-have for us; it’s how you contribute to the team that matters.
·  Nothing is an issue for you, you know what our guests want even before they do.

Additional Information

What's in it for you...

·  The opportunity to work with an exciting new hospitality concept in Florence and have a real impact on its success.
