Three jobs, and what they actually pay

We publish pay on every advert because not publishing it is a way of paying people differently for the same work. Everything below is the real rate, not a range with a ceiling nobody reaches.

Turning up
Working quickly without getting sloppy
That is genuinely it

How we hire

Five things we will hold ourselves to

We reply to every application, including the ones that are a no.
Interviews are a conversation and a paid trial shift, never an unpaid one.
Tips are pooled and split by hours worked. Nobody in management takes a share.
Rotas go out two weeks ahead and we do not change them without asking you.
You will be told what you are being paid before you are asked to interview.

Apply

Come in and ask for Tom

No form and no CV needed. Walk in and say which job you are after, or ring — we would rather meet you for five minutes than read a covering letter. Quietest just after two, which is the best time to catch someone.
