We want to redefine hospitality and encourage conscious travel where sustainable choices are prioritized by offering fun, inclusive and mindful hotel experiences.

A hotel under construction with a focus of design and sustainability, that will offer 80 guests rooms, a lively new concept of wine bar with small Tuscan dishes, a library and amenities including fitness, art space and a lush inner courtyard.

Working at The Usual Florence means being part of a passionate and international team.

We encourage our people to take ownership, care for the world and people around them, and stay curious.

Join us in challenging the status quo.

The role

As a Runner you'll help create the welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel at home at The Usual Florence.

Working alongside our bartenders and F&B team, you'll help create memorable experiences for every guest.

You'll be constantly on the move, supporting service, delivering food and drinks, preparing tables and creating a warm, inviting environment where guests feel genuinely looked after.

Every interaction is an opportunity to make someone's day a little better.

No two shifts are the same.

One moment you'll be serving breakfast, the next you'll be supporting the aperitivo service, helping your colleagues during busy moments or making sure our restaurant and living spaces are looking their very best.

• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, food safety and hygiene in accordance with company procedures and HACCP requirements.
• Support colleagues across the F&B operation to ensure smooth service.
• What you'll bring to the table

You enjoy working with people and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

You have a positive attitude, pay attention to the little details and understand that outstanding hospitality is created through teamwork.

You're proactive, energetic and always willing to lend a helping hand.
