Receptionist (Seasonal Contract)
As the first and last point of contact, our Receptionist is the face of PYRO. We are looking for a conductor for the dining room for a seasonal contract between May and mid-September. You will manage the flow of the restaurant, welcome guests to our garden bar, and ensure every arrival feels like a homecoming. We need someone who can handle a fast-paced Borough service with grace, intelligence, and a genuine smile. Note: While this is a seasonal contract ending in mid-September, there may be the option to extend based on performance and business needs.
Requirements
- Exceptional Hospitality: A natural ability to deliver world-class service standards with a "taverna-style" warmth that makes every guest feel at home.
- Organisational Brilliance: Proven experience managing reservations, floor plans, and guest flow in high-volume and premium venues.
- Commercial Mindset: Ability to maximise covers and manage the "books" to drive revenue while maintaining a seamless guest experience.
- Technical Savvy: Experience with industry-standard reservation systems (e.g., SevenRooms, OpenTable, or ResDiary) and a sharp eye for detail.
- Communication Skills: A confident, professional phone manner and the ability to liaise effectively between the kitchen and the floor team.
- Peak Season Leadership: A proactive approach to managing the front-of-house arrival experience during high-intensity terrace hours.
- Availability: Full availability to complete the contract duration from May through to mid-September.
