About The Role
As a Front of House Team Member, you’ll play a key

breakdowns, you’ll be involved in every stage of the event journey.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced
environment, enjoys working as part of a collaborative team, and takes pride in
delivering exceptional guest experiences. Whether you’re serving, resetting, or
