Reservationist - Hawksmoor
Since 2006, Hawksmoor has been the UK’s home of ethically sourced, grass-fed beef, cooked over charcoal and paired with award-winning wines and cocktails. We’re proud to be a certified B Corp, one of the most sustainable restaurant groups in the industry, and to have been recognised as one of the Best Companies to work for year after year.
As a Reservationist at Hawksmoor, you’ll be right at the heart of the guest experience. This is not a desk-based role. You’ll be welcoming guests, managing reservations and waiting lists, coordinating seating and cloakroom, and supporting the floor team to keep service running smoothly. You’ll be a key part of how we deliver warm, generous hospitality from the very first hello.
What You’ll Do
- Welcome guests warmly and confidently on arrival
- Manage reservations, walk-ins and waiting lists during service
- Seat guests and manage the flow of the restaurant to support smooth service
- Oversee cloakroom and guest arrivals during busy periods
- Communicate clearly with managers, floor teams and the kitchen
- Support the floor team by helping set and reset tables and assist service when needed
- Handle guest enquiries in person, by phone and email with care and professionalism
