Waitstaff

Dishery isn’t your average Arrowtown hangout.

Tucked by the river in Arrowtown, it’s the kind of place where the coffee’s strong, the playlists hit just right, and the brunches have a habit of rolling into something a little louder. We’ve just reopened the doors to a new chapter and we’re looking for someone who knows how to keep the good times flowing.

You know the kind of service that feels natural - no script, just ease. You read a table before they wave you down. You can move fast without looking rushed. You care about the details - the pour, the plates, the pace - because that’s what separates good from unforgettable.

If you know your way around a coffee machine or a cocktail tray, even better. You’ll be part of the heartbeat here, that moment between the first flat white and the first spritz, where the whole day still feels wide open.

You’ll be joining a crew who take their work seriously but not themselves. We’re locals with good taste, serious about food and drink and crafting unforgettable experiences. You’ll get perks across our sister spots (Canyon Restaurant, The Boat Shed Café, and The Boat Shed Bakery), free health insurance where eligible, and the chance to grow with a venue that’s finding its rhythm again.

Here, you’ll be part of the rhythm. Greeting, serving, pouring, chatting, all the small things that add up to a great service. You’ll help make Dishery the kind of place people don’t want to leave.

You’ll bring :

A warm, genuine approach to service

Clear communication and sharp attention to detail

The ability to multitask without breaking a sweat

Pride in presentation - yours and ours

If that sounds like your kind of pace, apply now!
