**Waiter M/F, Locke de Santa Marta, Lisbon \| Package of €1,200 per month**
**Every table you look after is somebody's favourite part of their day in Lisbon.**
Locke de Santa Marta, our striking aparthotel set across a restored 19th century palace and townhouses in the heart of the city, is looking for a **Waiter M/F** to join the floor team. Breakfast service, all\-day dining, cocktails, guests from every corner of the world. If you love a busy floor, remember a regular's order and genuinely enjoy looking after people, this is one of the best rooms in Lisbon to do it in.
**Who we are**
We are **White Rabbit Hospitality**, the team behind some of Europe's most characterful hotels and restaurants, including **Rusacks St Andrews**, **The Randolph Oxford**, **Graduate Cambridge**, **Ember Locke Kensington** and **Locke Canary Wharf**. In Lisbon, that reputation lives across **Locke de Santa Marta** and **Locke de Santa Joana**, two design\-led properties where food and drink are the beating heart of the building, not an add\-on. As **Waiter M/F**, you are the face of all of it.
**Why this role is different**
This is not a place where you take an order and walk away. Our guests stay for nights, weeks and sometimes months, so you will get to know them, learn what they like and become part of why they come back. You will be trusted with real product knowledge across the menu and the bar, encouraged to make recommendations in your own voice, and given the training to grow fast. Personality is not just allowed here, it is the point.
**What we stand for**
Our values are not a poster on the wall. They show up in every greeting, every plate you carry and every table you turn.
**Our Values, In Every Service**
* **HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE:** You make people feel genuinely welcome from the first hello, whether it is a quiet solo breakfast or a table of twelve.
* **WE DO THE RIGHT THING:** You check the allergen, you own the mistake, you look after your section and your teammates, especially when it is busy.
* **WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE:** Clean tables, correct covers, accurate orders, hot food hot. The detail is the difference.
* **WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS:** You spot the upsell, the birthday, the tired traveller who needs a table by the window, and you act on it.
**What will you be doing?**
Working alongside our Restaurant and Bar team, you will deliver warm, confident service across breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks.
* Welcoming, seating and looking after guests throughout their visit
* Taking food and drink orders accurately and inputting them correctly on the till system
* Knowing the menu properly, including ingredients, allergens and daily changes, and making genuine recommendations
* Serving food and beverages to the standard set by the Restaurant Manager
* Running a clean, well organised section, including set up, clear down and mise en place
* Handling payments accurately and closing tables correctly
* Supporting breakfast service, room service and events as required
* Responding to guest requests and resolving small issues before they grow
* Following all food safety, HACCP, hygiene and licensing standards
* Working as one team with kitchen, bar and front desk colleagues
**What do you need?**
* Previous experience as a Waiter, Server, Empregado de Mesa or in a similar hospitality role, ideally in a hotel or quality restaurant
* Warm, confident communication and a natural instinct for looking after people
* The energy to stay calm, organised and friendly through a busy service
* Good English, as you will serve international guests daily. Portuguese is a strong advantage
* Comfortable with till and ordering systems, or quick to learn
* Flexibility across mornings, evenings and weekends
* The right to work in Portugal
**What we offer**
Aside from a package of **€1,200 per month**, we provide:
* Meals on duty
* Team discounts across our hotels, restaurants and bars
* Full training on service standards, product knowledge and food safety
* Coverflex benefits and support
* Recognition and reward for team members who raise the bar
* A genuine voice in how the operation runs
**Where this can take you**
We promote from within. Our people have moved from the floor into Head Waiter, Supervisor, Bar and management roles across the group. With two properties in Lisbon and a growing portfolio across the UK and Europe, this is a place to build a hospitality career, not just pick up shifts.
