Blog: Helen Jones, head of Zizzi Restaurants, on how front-of-house is done the Italian way!

Zizzi restaurants are run the Italian way – passionate and homely with a little flair. Each one’s a bit different in character, architecture, age and feel; think Robert De Niro with a regional accent.

Whatever your position, something you can always be assured of is a warm welcome. We know it’s the teams who make the Zizzi experience special so we pride ourselves on employing the best people at all levels of the business.

It’s important to us that people who work for Zizzi feel valued and part of a family. We want our teams to feel a strong sense of ownership of their restaurant and for this reason we value their creativity and ideas. Our people are responsible for our success so whether you are a manager, a restaurant team member, working in head office or a chef in the kitchen, it’s your passion, your individuality and your style that make Zizzi the success it is today.

We recruit people from all walks of life and we always look for personality, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to ensure every customer has a fantastic experience every time.

We are also very excited about the fact that we are about to start offering work placements to young people on Prince’s Trust programmes. This scheme enables us to give practical support and training to those who need it the most.

The work placements with Zizzi will help build workplace skills and confidence and help young people who may have had difficulty taking their first steps into employment.

If you’ve been inspired by Zizzi restaurants as seen on BBC 2’s Michel Roux’s Service and you’re interested in a career in front-of-house. then talk to the Academy of Food and Wine Service.
