Vacant job

At Scandic Plaza in Umeå, our guests stay in a relaxed environment with views of the Ume River, just a few blocks from the pedestrian street's shopping and nightlife. They can stroll around town, spend time in our relaxation area, or enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel's restaurant.

We are a team that works with great joy and engagement – we are proud of our workplace. Our employees are our greatest asset: here, you should thrive and develop. Through good leadership and collaboration between departments, we create fantastic hotel experiences for our guests.

We are now looking for a skilled employee for the restaurant at Scandic Plaza, Umeå.

Regardless of why the guest comes to us, few things are as appreciated as a friendly face welcoming them. You act as a host together with the rest of the hotel team, creating a world-class guest experience.

Here, you will take significant responsibility for making the decisions required to ensure guest satisfaction. The team develops and improves work methods and service as the external world changes. We are convinced that it is when you are allowed to develop and contribute with all your competence and experience that we exceed guest expectations. On top of that, we have fun at work!

So bring your experience, your engagement, and your way of thinking to us – and contribute to a culture where we truly care: about each other, our guests, and our planet. Welcome to Scandic!

What does the role entail?

You are the first person the guest meets in our restaurant, so it is crucial that you have a warm welcome, are attentive to details, and aware of the guest's needs. You have a burning interest in food and drink and appreciate order and tidiness, both in your own work and that of your colleagues. All to provide our guests with a fantastic dining experience. Your main tasks will be serving food and drinks and managing your own cash register. Of course, you will also support the hotel team with other tasks as needed.

Who are you?

To fit the role, we believe you have at least three years of experience in similar work as well as experience in concept-driven operations. Since the job largely consists of communicating with guests, good knowledge of Swedish and English is a prerequisite. Speaking an additional language is an advantage.

Above all, your personal qualities and attitude are most important. To fit the role, you need to be an attentive and non-hierarchical team player who takes great responsibility for your tasks and the overall result. It is also important that you can convey good hospitality to the hotel's guests.
