If your idea of a great day at work includes friendly faces, feel-good vibes, and the smell of crackling grills in the air, you’re going to feel right at home at Harvester.

Our bar and waiting roles aren’t your average restaurant gigs. You’ll be the one pouring perfectly chilled pints, serving up guests’ favourites, and adding those little touches that turn a good meal into a great memory. 

It’s fast-paced, full of energy, and let’s be honest, kind of fun when the team’s this good.

Your next role might just be waiting at Harvester.

What it’s like to work in a Bar and Waiting job at Harvester

Imagine this: you’re on shift, and it’s buzzing, people laughing, plates clinking, the sound of pints being poured. 

You’re right in the middle of it all, serving up delicious meals, making sure guests are well taken care of, and throwing in a few extra smiles for good measure. Sounds like fun, right? That's the Harvester vibe. 

At Harvester, we’re all about fresh food and feel-good family moments. From flame-grilled favourites to unlimited salad bars, we make every visit something special.

Working in a bar or waiting role here means more than just taking orders. You’re the face of the restaurant, the one who makes a guest’s day a little brighter, whether it's with a cheeky recommendation, a friendly chat, or just making sure their drink never runs dry. It’s all about creating an experience that feels as warm and welcoming as the food on the plate.

And let’s not forget the team. There’s nothing better than working with a crew that’s got your back, whether it’s during a crazy dinner rush or when you’re serving up a big celebration. You’ll quickly become part of the Harvester family, and trust us, that makes every shift a little more fun.

So, if you like working in a place where no two days are the same, and every shift feels like you’re making a difference, Harvester’s front of house is the place for you!

Why you’ll love it

1. Fast-paced and fun

Let’s face it: sitting still isn’t your thing, and luckily, it’s not Harvester’s thing either! Working here means you’ll always be on your toes, whether you're pouring drinks, serving meals, or getting to know guests. 

Every shift is different, and that makes it exciting! The best part? You’ll be working with a team that makes even the busiest shifts feel like a breeze.

It’s not just about food, it’s about connection. Harvester restaurants are neighbourhood favourites where regulars become friends, and the vibe is always warm and welcoming.

2. Top-notch training and support

Never worked in hospitality before? No problem! At Harvester, you’ll get all the training and support you need to hit the ground running. 

From learning the ropes to picking up new skills, you won’t be left on your own. 

You’ll be serving up our much-loved flame-grilled dishes, from juicy steaks to rotisserie chicken, made just the way guests like them. There’s real pride in what we serve: fresh ingredients, quality dishes, and a commitment to doing things the right way. At Harvester, great food goes hand-in-hand with great service.

Plus, you’ll have a team of pros to ask for advice when you need it. You’ll be a pro in no time!

3. Flexible shifts to fit your life

Got a busy schedule? Whether you’re balancing studies, other jobs, or just want time for yourself, Harvester’s flexible shifts work around your life. 

It’s all about making sure you can enjoy your work while still having time for everything else.

4. Room to grow

Looking to level up? Harvester isn’t just a job, it’s a place where you can grow. With plenty of opportunities to move up in the ranks, you could go from server to supervisor in no time. 

Plus, as part of the M&B family, you’ve got even more chances to explore career paths across the business.
