Front of House Team Member, Prezzo Italian

Great nights out don't just happen. People like you make them.

You can't miss Prezzo Italian right now. Our refurbished restaurants look stunning, with more on the way, and the food has never been better. Guests are noticing and the momentum is real. Now we need warm, friendly people to join our front of house teams and make every visit one to remember.

Who we are

Brava Hospitality Group is the home of great restaurant brands. We're the group behind Prezzo Italian, in towns and cities right across the UK, and a collection of much-loved central London restaurants: Jamie's Italian, Riding House Café, Nessa, Yasmin, Mortimer House Kitchen and, most recently, Bolo by Gennaro. And we're growing the footprint of every one of our brands. We're restaurant people at heart, and we believe every guest deserves brilliant food and exceptional hospitality from teams who love what they do.

Prezzo Italian has been bringing the Italian classics to towns and cities across the UK since 2000. For our 25th birthday we gave it a fresh start: a brand-new look, beautifully redesigned restaurants, and a menu built around the dishes people love, made fresh and cooked properly. Prezzo Italian is the home of the Italian classics.

We're a business on the way up, and the people who join us now will shape where it goes next.

The role

As a Front of House Team Member at Prezzo Italian, you're the first smile guests see and the reason they come back. You welcome, you recommend, you look after every table, and you make it look easy.

At Prezzo Italian, it all comes down to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Every guest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That starts with how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have fun together and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember and come back for.

New to hospitality? You'll get full training and a team that has your back from day one.

What you'll be responsible for

Delivering exceptional hospitality

• Greet every guest warmly and make them feel at home.
• Know the menu and recommend dishes and drinks with real enthusiasm.
• Take orders accurately, including allergen and dietary requests, following our procedures every time.
• Keep an eye on every table so guests have what they need before they ask.
• Make every guest's first and last impression one they remember.

Being part of the team

• Work closely with the kitchen and bar so every plate and drink goes out right.
• Help your teammates when it gets busy.
• Keep the restaurant clean, tidy and ready for guests.
• Handle payments accurately and with care.

What we're looking for

Are you a Prezzo person? You're warm, genuine and generous with your time. You love great food and you love people even more. You make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in, you lift the team around you, and you take pride in getting the little things right. You bring energy, a sense of fun, and the confidence to make the call.

• A friendly, confident way with people.
• Energy and a positive attitude, even on the busiest nights.
• A team player who's happy to muck in.
• Pride in getting the details right.

Experience is great, but it isn't essential. Your personality matters most, and we'll teach you the rest.
