Edinburgh - 37.5 hrs · On-site

About this role

We’re currently looking for wait staff to join our welcoming and close-knit H beauty family at The Champagne Bar in Edinburgh.
Harrods is bringing more magic, innovation, and theatre not only to the beauty market but also to the dining industry through our H beauty standalone stores across the UK.

As this is not a normal beauty hall, we are bringing on board some of the highest profile partners in the business and aspire to provide a world class dining experience all within our unique H beauty playgrounds.

About the Role

Our Front of House teams set the scene for exceptional experiences and are an invaluable part of our Restaurants family. Waiters across Harrods are flexible to our customers’ needs and go above and beyond to make anything possible.

They know what it means to go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble. In this role, you’ll be assisting the Management team in running the restaurant effectively by maintaining high service standards and maximising sales, exceeding customer expectations.

About You

You’ll be a trusted team player who has a strong track record of hospitality experience, with time spent working at a high end bar or café environment. Having great knowledge and a passion for food and drink, you’ll have the ability to perform duties effectively and at the highest standards with minimum supervision and guidance.

You’ll have great time-management skills and a strong customer focus when dealing with both internal and external parties. You’ll have exceptional interpersonal skills and a good attention to detail. By being cool, calm and collected, you’ll be able to manage all kinds of situations and think on your feet.

About Us

Harrods is one of the world’s leading luxury department stores and we’re becoming a destination for top designers, and the most sought-after brands from around the globe. Our combined mission is to make visiting our iconic Knightsbridge store one of the world’s most inspiring shopping experiences.

Our Promise to You

Help us make the impossible possible for our customers and we’ll do something remarkable for you. As well as offering a friendly environment to inspire your best work, we provide abundant opportunities and support to build an exceptional career across the varied specialisms of our business.

More immediately, you’ll benefit from:

  • An excellent benefits package
  • A competitive salary up to £15.50ph (this is made up of a generous base salary and service charge)
  • Company pension
  • Flexible working
  • 30 days’ holiday (including bank holidays) and your birthday off
  • Up to 33% in-store discount and access to our employee high-street discount portal

Uniquely You

Whilst our job adverts outline the ideal qualities, skills, and prior experience for the role, we believe in the potential for growth and value individual strengths. If you can demonstrate the majority of skills and strong experience to thrive in this role, we would encourage you to apply.

At Harrods we believe the personality and authenticity of our people sets us apart.
