Hospitality is the name of the game at Daphne. If you know your wine, love a full section and want a summer of long nights with a great team, come join us.

Daphne is like a restaurantuers answer to a pub, but with really really good food and booze. It’s a comfortable, down-to-earth spot on Lygon Street for the neighbourhood: a pint after work, a carafe with friends, someone’s grandmother’s 70th. Fun, familiar and yum.

At Daphne, hospitality is the name of the game. It’s at the core of everything we do. Summer’s coming and it’s going to be a big one, so we’re after a robust casual section waiter to join our small (but very busy) team.

The role

- Running your own section and looking after people like they’re regulars, even on their first visit
- Talking wine with guests, whether it’s a chilled red on a hot night, something by the carafe or a premium pour. We keep it premium, not precious
- Reading the room, not the rulebook. No scripts here,



just genuine hospitality and saying yes whenever you can
- Keeping the energy up on a full house and having your team’s back when it’s flat out
- Making space for real life: kids, dogs, prams and late-night laughs
- Helping out with functions and events over summer

About you

- You’ve done a few years on the floor somewhere busy and can hold your own on a big night
- You know your wine and genuinely love talking about it
- Hospitality is in your bones. You care about people and want them to leave feeling looked after, not managed
- You’re relaxed and easygoing, but sharp when it counts
- You have your RSA

Availability
This is a casual role, but you’ll need to be free for nights, weekends and right through the Christmas and New Year holidays. That’s when we need you most.
