Waiter - Fifth Floor Knightsbridge

Harvey Nichols
London

Harvey Nichols is entering an exciting new chapter. With renewed energy, fresh creativity, and a clear vision for the future, the brand is evolving — reclaiming its place as one of London’s most iconic destinations for style, culture, and hospitality.

At the heart of this transformation is the Fifth Floor Restaurant — a vibrant dining space above the energy of Knightsbridge, where modern cuisine, design, and social atmosphere come together. Known for its contemporary feel and dynamic setting, the restaurant is once again becoming a destination for guests seeking exceptional food and memorable dining experiences.

We are seeking an experienced waiter who thrives in a sophisticated, fast-paced environment and has a genuine passion for hospitality. This is a role for someone who understands that great service is both an art and a craft — combining attention to detail with warmth, confidence, and personality.

The Role

As part of the Fifth Floor team, you will help shape the experience of one of London’s most stylish dining destinations.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Delivering attentive, seamless service with confidence, professionalism, and genuine warmth

  • Bringing the menu to life through the art of storytelling — sharing the inspiration, ingredients, and character behind each dish

  • Guiding guests through their dining journey, offering thoughtful recommendations and creating a sense of occasion

  • Anticipating guest needs to ensure a smooth, intuitive, and personalised service

  • Working closely with kitchen and bar teams to deliver a cohesive guest experience

  • Contributing to a vibrant, social atmosphere where hospitality feels natural, engaging, and memorable

From the first welcome to the final farewell, you will create an environment defined by warm hospitality, where every guest feels recognised, valued, and immersed in a dining experience that is stylish, current, and distinctive.

What We’re Looking For

You are an experienced waiter who combines strong service skills with personality, presence, and attention to detail.

You will need to have:

  • Experience in a quality restaurant or luxury hospitality environment

  • Strong understanding of food, service standards, and guest experience

  • Confidence describing menus and making recommendations

  • A natural ability to engage guests and build rapport

  • Energy, pace, and professionalism in a high-volume setting

  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to high standards

Why Join the Fifth Floor

Working at Harvey Nichols means being part of a brand defined by style, creativity, and cultural relevance — and now, its next era.

The Fifth Floor Restaurant sits at the centre of that revival: a space where food, fashion, and London’s social energy come together.

For those passionate about hospitality, guest experience, and the rhythm of a truly stylish restaurant, this is an opportunity to be part of a team shaping one of London’s most exciting dining destinations.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary plus tronc

  • Fixed hours contracts for greater work-life balance

  • Opportunities for growth and career development as the business expands

  • Generous staff discounts across fashion and food & beverage at Harvey Nichols and OXO Tower Restaurant, Bar and Brasserie
