Kaigata 1 Bar – Haugesund, Norway 📍 Central Haugesund 📅 Start: ASAP
Kaigata 1 Bar is looking for an experienced Mixed Waiter / Bartender — someone confident on the floor and behind the bar, with the calm authority that comes from real hospitality experience. This is not an entry-level role. We’re looking for a strong all-rounder who can take responsibility during service, lead by example, and help shape the atmosphere in a brand-new restaurant and pub.
The Role You’ll work across both restaurant and bar service — much like a Head Waiter profile who can comfortably run the bar when needed. You’ll be a key presence during service and a natural point of support for younger team members. This role is best suited for someone looking to settle into a long-term position. A minimum commitment of 6 months is expected — candidates seeking shorter-term or seasonal roles should consider other opportunities.
Who We’re Looking For You are:
- An experienced waiter/bartender from the hospitality industry
- Comfortable handling responsibility during busy services
- Someone who enjoys mentoring and supporting junior staff
- Service-minded, calm under pressure, and proud of your craft
- Fluent or very comfortable in a Scandinavian language (almost required)
Responsibilities
- Run bar service, cocktails, beer, wine, and coffee
- Deliver confident, professional table service
- Create great guest experiences — warm, relaxed, and personal
- Support and train less experienced colleagues
- Help set standards in a new, growing restaurant environment
What We Offer
✨ Competitive salary ✨ Relocation support — assistance in finding suitable accommodation and helping you settle in locally ✨ Access to a strong local network through a larger business group, making the move to Haugesund smoother ✨ A brand-new concept where your experience genuinely matters ✨ A friendly, warm team culture — not corporate, not stiff ✨ The opportunity to build a stable, long-term role in a growing business
Accomodation: - We have rooms and apartments ready for you to rent for a good price during the summer season.
