Chef’s Table Host / Section Waiter (Part-Time)

Traderne at Newlands Quarter

We’re looking for a confident, service-driven section waiter (Chef de Rang) to join the team at Traderne, working closely on our Chef’s Table experience.

This role offers 2 days per week and is ideal for someone who enjoys a more intimate style of service and wants to be part of a guest-focused dining experience.

About the Role
You’ll take ownership of the Chef’s Table service from start to finish — set up, service, and reset — working closely with both kitchen and front of house to deliver a seamless experience.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys engaging with guests, understands timing and flow, and takes pride in the details.

What You’ll Be Doing

Setting up the Chef’s Table and preparing the space for service
Running service for guests with confidence and attention to detail
Presenting dishes and sharing key elements of the menu
Supporting wine and beverage service alongside the team
Maintaining a clean, organised section throughout service
Resetting the space efficiently for the next sitting
Communicating clearly with chefs during service
Handling guest requests and feedback with professionalism

About You

Experience as a section waiter or in a similar role
Comfortable working in a more intimate, high-touch environment
Strong communication skills and a natural rapport with guests
Good food knowledge and a genuine interest in hospitality
Calm, organised and team-focused
An interest in wine is a bonus

Why Join Us

Work closely with a passionate, collaborative team
Be part of a refined, experience-led style of service
Opportunity to grow with the role as the concept develops
A great fit for someone looking for fewer, more focused shifts

If you enjoy thoughtful service, care about the details, and want to be part of something considered, we’d love to hear from you.
