Waiter, Cardiff

At Wahaca, we're all about fresh Mexican food, great people and a little bit of sunshine in every shift. Everything we do is rooted in our founders' values - taking pride in what we do, staying humble, choosing integrity, having fun and thinking positively.

We're looking for waiters who love hospitality:

• Lead with warmth and personality
• Bring positive energy to every shift
• Love connecting with people
• Thrive in a fast‑paced, buzzing environment
• Take initiative in providing personalised, warm and genuine experience
• Own "Aspirational Service"
• Anticipate needs before our guests ask
• Talk about food and drink with genuine passion sharing Wahaca stories and your personal recommendations
• Stay calm and confident under pressure
• Support your team without hesitation
• Take ownership of every table and every guest

People do their best work when they feel looked after - and when our teams thrive, so do our guests. That's why we care just as much about creating a supportive, inclusive place to work as we do about the food we serve - and why we offer a range of great benefits:

• 70% off food when dining at Wahaca with up to 3 friends
• Earn £100 to celebrate your probation and up to £1000 through friend referrals
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption pay
• Early access to wages, financial support and discounts through Stream

• Free, nutritious meal every time you work, freshly made by our talented chefs
• Support from our Employee Assistance Programme, The Burnt Chef Project
• Time off for when needed; like your child's first day at school

• Own development plan - we are committed to growing our people from within
• Our very own Masterchef and Cocktail competitions
• Unwind at one of our many events across the year such as WOW Fest!
• Celebrate your milestones with a flight to Mexico at 2 years, and a 4‑week sabbatical at 5 years

Wahaca was founded by Thomasina Miers and Mark Selby, inspired by a love of the vibrant food of Mexico and a mission to bring its bold flavours to the UK - using great British produce and ingredients sourced with care.

Experience is welcome - but attitude is everything.

If you believe hospitality is about how you make people feel, we want to meet you.
