General Assistants - Combination of FOH and Kitchen
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our brand-new Burmese restaurant in London. Our mission is to create more than just a place to eat; we are building a warm, community-focused dining destination that celebrates the rich flavours of Myanmar while delivering person-centred hospitality.
At the heart of our service is a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of our customers. We believe that every meal is an opportunity to provide a friendly, engaging experience that brings a smile to their faces. We are now looking for a dedicated General Assistant who shares these values to join us on this exciting journey from day one.
