Restaurant Jobs in Harrogate

Restaurant work is busy, active and ideal for people who are happy serving people. Restaurant employees need to be courteous and polite, showing concern for customer satisfaction. A good establishment will ensure all those things are offered to customers, with employing waiters and waitresses, reception staff and managers and kitchen staff who fully understand the needs of these people-oriented jobs. A busy restaurant can be a stressful environment, so the ability to deal with busy periods is essential, whatever the job.
For kitchen work, basic food hygiene and food safety certificates are required from all applicants. Those applying for jobs ‘front of house’ should possess good people skills and a pleasant demeanour, and restaurant managers need a strong track record and plenty of previous experience. Salaries vary from the hourly paid waiting and kitchen staff of up to £8 an hour, to the chefs and manager who can command anything up to and above £30,000 a year.
