Who we are
We are WAO, a real estate company that designs, builds and runs spaces for contemporary working and living.
Our vision is to create a network of places animated by people committed to building a better world. We do it by turning existing buildings into living, well-kept places, integrated into their neighbourhood and city.
We work with and for startups, scale-ups and new generations of workers looking for flexibility, connection and quality of experience, not only in the services but in everyday living.
We are a young team, growing fast, with a hands-on, responsible, execution-driven approach.
Who we're looking for
You'll work in WAO's food spaces: Romolo, Isola, Bassi and Certosa. You're among the first people guests meet, and the ones they remember most: a good evening also comes down to how you serve a coffee, how you welcome a guest, how quickly you clear a table.
Three roles, one single goal: making everyone who walks in feel good.
- Barista: from coffee to aperitivo, you look after the counter and set the pace of service.
- Waiter/waitress: you welcome guests, serve at tables and standing, and keep an eye on dietary needs and intolerances.
- Runner: you hold kitchen, floor and set-up together: you carry, restock, tidy up and lend a hand wherever it's needed.
You're the right person if
- You love welcoming people: you smile, you listen and you make anyone who walks in feel at home.
- You can keep the pace: when service speeds up you stay clear-headed and precise, without losing the care.
- You like working as a team: you coordinate with the kitchen, the floor and the events team, and you lend a hand when one is needed.
- You are reliable: you are where you need to be, at the right time.
- You are flexible: evenings and weekends are part of the deal, and that's when events are at their best.
If you already have experience in bars, front of house or events, that's a big plus for us.
What we offer
A team that runs as fast as you do, spaces that are the manifesto of a new way of living and working, a young environment where hospitality is done with care. On top of that:
- Freelance collaboration on call, with an Italian VAT number or under withholding tax, with a clear fee agreed before every shift
- WAO discounts and partner deals
