Hospitality with class: join our wait staff on the Korenlei terrace
The Ghent Marriott Hotel is looking for a terrace server to join our team in the Midtown Grill restaurant, bar, on the riverside terrace at the Korenlei, or during events. You will ensure guests feel welcome and enjoy a delightful experience from aperitif to dessert. If you are committed to friendly and attentive service, have an eye for detail, and thrive in a lively environment – we would love to meet you!
A behind-the-scenes look at your role
- You are the face of our sunny Korenlei terrace: warmly welcoming guests, seating them, and delivering excellent service.
- You take orders, offer menu suggestions, and serve drinks and meals with flair – often managing multiple tables simultaneously.
- You maintain a clean and tidy terrace throughout the service, even during busy periods.
- You work closely with the bar and kitchen teams to ensure smooth and prompt service.
- You handle payments accurately and end each visit with a positive guest experience.
- You report issues or complaints to your supervisor and help maintain a professional and upbeat team atmosphere.
Who are we looking for?
- Experience as a waiter or in a similar role is a strong asset, but not required – your motivation and customer-oriented mindset matter most.
- You are flexible and available for shifts between 7:00 and 23:00, including weekends and holidays.
- You are a team player with an eye for detail and a good sense of pace.
- You have strong communication skills and speak fluent Dutch or English (additional languages are a plus!).
- You are looking for either full-time (38h) or part-time work.
What can you expect from us?
- A long-term commitment via a permanent contract.
- An attractive salary package, including:
- DKV hospitalization insurance
- Meal vouchers and eco vouchers
- Global employee discounts within Marriott International
- A flexible work schedule: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to each other. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has its perks – pick up your kids, attend that Tuesday fitness class, or enjoy your free time while others work.
- Room to grow through the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching.
- An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust, and having fun at work.
