Who we are:

We love what we do and what we do is important  We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests, but also our teammates.  Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new, or had fun working that day.  Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests.  We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel.  No-one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can’t create that special experience for our guest.

 

Your mission:

Should you decide to accept it…

Break the “Banquet” cliché.  Delightfully deliver positive experiences for the guests through attention to the event details while bringing personality and passion to all event venues.  Under the orchestration of the Event Manager, this position thrives on taking ownership of responsibilities such as ensuring all events spaces are well presented.

In addition, if you consider yourself a hospitality professional and have a passion for making people happy with your insatiable desire to see them smile and feel good, then this job is surely for you  If you can communicate, coordinate and work well with other teammates in meeting our guests requirements, then you will have a successful career with us.  Most of all, we want you to have FUN since you play a huge role in creating that memorable guest experience

 

The Nitty-Gritty:

What exactly you will be doing…

  • Cleanliness is the closest thing to happiness and happiness looks like a clean, hygienic and organized work environment that includes polished cutlery/glassware, folded napkins, etc. and well maintained service areas/halls
  • Setup event space according to the event details in ‘show ready’ condition
  • Pack down event spaces post event
  • Preparing Mise en Place for a wide variety of meetings and events
  • Greet and assist guests in a kind and courteous manner

 

What qualities are we looking for?

You got skills? If you are able to perform the following, then you have come to the right place…

 

  • Lift and carry 30 lbs, carry and balance plates, cocktail tray on a regular and frequent basis.
  • Stand for periods of 8-10 hours.
