The Top 10 Hospitality Roles

The world of hospitality is as huge as it is exciting – and it includes more roles than a Game of Thrones plotline. Here are our top ten to get you in the mood for a career in helping others enjoy life to the max!

1.  Bartender

Bartending isn’t just about pouring pints and mixing cocktails. While you’re garnishing that mojito with mint sprigs and giving good banter, you’re gaining highly sought-after communication skills.

2. Barista

This is a demanding role, especially when faced with the 8am commuter queue. But it’s a sociable job, too, allowing you to meet all kinds of people, thanks to the worldwide appreciation of coffee.

3. Host/Hostess

You’re the first to welcome guests to a restaurant and show them to their tables. You’re in charge of bookings and reservations, so you’ll soon have organisational skills down to a tee. If you enjoy a fast-paced job and playing table tetris, this is for you.

4. Waiter/Waitress

Without you food goes cold, guests get grumpy and plates pile up. You get to interact with lots of people, boost communication skills and enjoy the busy restaurant environment.

5. Events Manager

Without you how else would weddings, parties and dinners run smoothly? Being able to organise a team is crucial. Every event will be different, no matter how high or low profile.

6. Hotel Manager

This job means multi-tasking and boasts a host of potential career opportunities. If you work for a hotel chain, you could find yourself jet-setting all over the world, so it’s ideal if you like a job with variety.

7. Restaurant Manager

You’re the person who decides the look, style, and taste of the place. Your team will become your second family. Most importantly, you get to oversee the running of the restaurant while improving planning and multi-tasking skills.

8. Chef

The hours may be long but you get to demonstrate your talents and be creative, showing off your passion for food. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it thrive on the adrenaline that comes with the chaos.

9. Food and Beverage Manager

Your job is to plan menus and budget for food, so it requires a lot of responsibility – you need to be able to think on your feet if a crate of snails is delivered instead of scallops.

10. Hotel Concierge

In this job you get to welcome people from all over the world and share your local knowledge to make sure they get the most out of their stay. It’s sociable and rewarding.
