Vacant job

We at Elite Hotels of Sweden have now opened our latest, ambitious hotel venture – Ad Astra by Elite at the beautiful Snäckviken in Södertälje. Our first-class, international destination hotel with a premium approach is bringing the Riviera to Sweden, and the work to create an authentic experience influenced by the Mediterranean gems such as Italy and the South of France is in full swing. The concept, inspired by the Mediterranean and the Riviera, includes a spectacular piazza with an adjoining orangery, several restaurants, bars, a cinema, activities, and entertainment. The hotel also features an extensive spa inspired by the ancient Roman baths, with gardens and three pools both indoors and outdoors. The spa, which is part of the group's own spa concept Vana Spa, is the largest to date. In addition, the hotel offers twelve conference rooms and 161 rooms and suites in nine different categories. Located on the quay by Snäckviken in Astra's former headquarters, Ad Astra by Elite is a tribute to the luxury, lifestyle, and culinary culture of the Riviera. The name is Latin and means 'to the stars', which also symbolizes Elite Hotels of Sweden's ambition with both the hotel and the level of service.

We are now looking for a head waiter, full-time, 100%, with well-documented professional experience for our various restaurant units.

You need to have worked as a waiter/waitress for at least a few years to apply for this position. We prefer candidates with a hotel background or those who have previously worked in larger organizations with a high pace and various units and departments. You have a quality mindset and are a great organizer with personality, integrity, and a good sense of humor.

Your focus as a head waiter will be planning, staff management, ensuring hygiene and guest satisfaction, as well as efficiency, and actively working in operations.

As a person, we appreciate that you are unpretentious, clear, humble, and a responsive team player. You are flexible in your way of working, with the ability to quickly adapt to new situations and challenges. You can handle guests with a smile even when the pace is high, and you are social and pleasant.

What is important to us is that you have a burning interest in hospitality, food, and drink, that you are a team player who is interested in making the whole operation work, and that you understand that your role as a head waiter is to coach, lead, and teach your staff.

All our head waiters report directly to the restaurant manager at Ad Astra by Elite and will work very closely with all colleagues throughout the hotel, especially within Food & Beverage.

Collaboration between the kitchen, dining room, bar, and other departments in the hotel is a guiding principle and a stated necessity to provide our bar, restaurant, and hotel guests with a memorable and unique experience.

At Ad Astra by Elite, you will find a developing and stimulating work environment alongside dedicated, passionate, and skilled colleagues.

The position starts with a six-month probationary period and is expected to transition to a permanent position.

Warm welcome with your application!
