  • Replenish stock and ensure correct stock rotation practices are followed
  • Deliver catering items to meeting rooms and clear service areas promptly
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure smooth daily operations

What you’ll bring

  • Previous experience in food service, hospitality, or cleaning is desirable but not essential
  • Strong customer service skills with a friendly and professional approach
  • Good understanding of hygiene, cleanliness, and safe working practices
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
