Job Description:

At Wahaca, we’re all about fresh Mexican food, great people and a little bit of sunshine in every shift. Everything we do is rooted in our founders’ values – taking pride in what we do, staying humble, choosing integrity, having fun and thinking positively.

We’re looking for bartenders who love hospitality:

Responsibilities

  • Lead with warmth and personality
  • Bring positive energy to every shift
  • Love connecting with people
  • Take pride in keeping bar area spotless at all times
  • Thrive in a fast‑paced, buzzing environment

Do you own “Aspirational Service”?

Core Competencies

  • Anticipate needs before our guests ask
  • Talk about our drinks with genuine passion sharing Wahaca stories and personal recommendations
  • Stay calm and confident under pressure
  • Support your team without hesitation
  • Demonstrate your passion for perfectly crafted cocktails made to our specs using fresh ingredients

People do their best work when they feel looked after – and when our teams thrive, so do our guests. That’s why we care just as much about creating a supportive, inclusive place to work as we do about the food we serve – and why we offer a range of great benefits:

Benefits

FINANCIAL:

  • 70% off food when dining at Wahaca with up to 3 friends
  • Earn £100 to celebrate your probation and up to £1000 through friend referrals
  • Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption pay
  • Early access to wages, financial support and discounts through Stream

HEALTH AND WELLBEING:

  • Free, nutritious meal every time you work, freshly made by our talented chefs
  • Support from our Employee Assistance Programme, The Burnt Chef Project
  • Time off for when needed; like your child’s first day at school

DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL:

  • Own development plan – we are committed to growing our people from within
  • Our very own Masterchef and Cocktail competitions
  • Unwind at one of our many events across the year such as WOW Fest!
  • Celebrate your milestones with a flight to Mexico at 2 years, and a 4-week sabbatical at 5 years

Wahaca was founded by Thomasina Miers and Mark Selby, inspired by a love of the vibrant food of Mexico and a mission to bring its bold flavours to the UK – using great British produce and ingredients sourced with care.

Experience is welcome – but attitude is everything.

If you believe hospitality is about how you make people feel, we want to meet you.
