About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Join Us as a Waiter at a Lively Dubai Exhibition (Temporary, 2 Months)
Looking for a change of pace, or maybe your next short-term adventure in Dubai? Here’s your chance to step into the vibrant world of exhibitions! We’re looking for friendly, energetic waiters to join our team for a two-month event at Nad Al Sheba. If you enjoy meeting new people, thrive in dynamic settings, and want a work experience that will fly by (thanks to the buzz of the exhibition floor), read on—this role could be just the ticket.
About Us
We’re proud to be part of the exhibition scene that brings people and ideas together in Dubai—a city where “ordinary” doesn’t really exist. Our team is a diverse mix, with everyone pitching in and supporting each other (and occasionally swapping favorite takeaway spots). During the event, we focus on making every guest feel welcome. In a place as busy as this, you’re never just a number—your enthusiasm and quick thinking can make all the difference to someone’s day.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Welcoming visitors and making them feel at home (smile included)
- Taking and serving orders efficiently—sometimes with a side of small talk
- Ensuring that tables are always clean, tidy, and presentable (you’ll develop a sixth sense for dropped napkins)
- Collaborating with other staff to keep service running smoothly, even when the crowds pick up
- Handling guest questions—or pointing them to the best food stall if you’re unsure!
What You’ll Bring
- Must-Haves:
- Valid UAE residence visa (sorry, this is a non-negotiable)
- Friendly, reliable attitude and good communication skills
- Ability to work the full 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM shift, for the duration of the exhibition
- Punctuality and a team-player mindset (we’re all in this together)
- Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience in hospitality or F&B settings
- Confidence interacting with guests from many backgrounds
