WE’RE HIRING – CASUAL FRONT OF HOUSE STAFF

Expressions of interest are now open!

We’re looking for reliable, enthusiastic people to join our Front of House team across our restaurants.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn valuable hospitality skills in a fast-paced, professional environment. Whether you’re looking for your first hospitality job or wanting to build on your experience, we’ll give you the training and support to grow.

What you’ll learn:
• Professional table service.
• Customer service and communication skills.
• Coffee making and barista basics.
• Food and beverage knowledge.
• How to confidently present and explain dishes.
• Working as part of a professional hospitality team.

These are skills you’ll carry with you for life and are highly valued in any customer-focused career.

What we’re looking for:
• Reliable and committed to your rostered shifts.
• Available to work weekends and evenings.
• Able to work throughout the busy summer season, including Christmas and New Year.
• Great people skills—or a genuine willingness to develop them.
• A positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

Hospitality is all about people. Our guests remember how you make them feel just as much as the food they eat. We need team members who enjoy talking to people, making them feel welcome, and helping create a memorable experience.

If you’re naturally outgoing, that’s fantastic. If you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone and learn, we’ll help you build the confidence and skills you need. But if you’re not willing to engage with customers, Front of House probably isn’t the right role.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn from experienced hospitality professionals in some of Oamaru’s busiest and most respected restaurants. If you’re prepared to work hard, learn every day, and be part of an amazing team, we’d love to hear from you.

Send us a message telling us a little about yourself, your availability, and why you’d like to join our team to [email protected]

The weather might be cold, wet and a little miserable today, but we hope everyone is staying safe, warm and dry.

If you’re looking to escape the rain, we’re open for dinner from 5:00pm tonight. Come in, get cosy, and enjoy a warm meal with us while we take care of the cooking.

We’d love to see you at Del Mar this evening. Stay safe out there!
