ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Head Waiter at Lydmar, you are a central part of the experience for our guests and a natural leader on the floor. Together with the team, you are responsible for the daily operations of the restaurant, ensuring that service, atmosphere, and quality always meet the highest standards.

This role involves operational responsibility where you work closely with both guests and colleagues. You lead the waitstaff team through service, distribute tasks during shifts, and ensure that every detail is perfect — from the initial welcome to the entire guest experience. At Lydmar, service is about personality and presence, where authenticity and feeling are just as important as precision.

You work actively with reservations, guest flow, scheduling, and daily planning, while contributing to creating a work environment where people thrive, develop, and perform together. The pace can be fast at times, so we are looking for someone who is confident in their leadership role, solution-oriented, and accustomed to prioritizing quickly without losing focus on the guest.

Working hours vary and include days, evenings, and weekends.

Key responsibilities include:

• Responsible for the daily operations of the restaurant
• Oversee reservations and guest flow
• Lead and support the waitstaff team during service
• Ensure high quality and personalized service throughout the guest experience
• Work with scheduling and simpler administrative tasks
• Introduce, train, and develop employees
• Collaborate closely with other departments within the hotel
• Actively contribute to the restaurant's development and profitability
• Ensure that routines, policies, and working environment standards are followed
