Big Mamma Group
Big Mamma Group is an Italian restaurant company founded in 2015 by Tigrane Seydoux and Victor Lugger with one simple dream: changing people's lives with pizza.
In the UK & Ireland, that dream lives in 9 restaurants across 4 cities: Gloria, Ave Mario, Circolo Popolare, Barbarella, Carlotta and Jacuzzi in London, Circolo Popolare in Manchester, La Bellezza in Birmingham, and Gloria in Dublin.
Every plate is 100% homemade, every space is jaw-dropping, and every table gets a huge smile at a fair price.
We believe hospitality is a real career, and we're on the hunt for talents ready to grow with us and bring their own crazy love for Italian food to the Squadra.
We’re now looking for a passionate Head Waiter/Waitress to join our team!

- Take care of all guests in your section and set the example for the rest of the team
- Follow the steps of service, provide recommendations, upsell and go the extra mile
- Master our menu, wines and cocktails, and help train junior waiters
- Open and close the floor with professionalism
- Support the management team with onboarding new runners

- Create memorable moments for guests with a warm, friendly and professional attitude
