Scout heads down to renowned Melbourne venue Grub Fitzroy to get the lowdown.
Are you in a dead-end job, looking for an opportunity to work in an industry that’s more socially interactive, rewarding, flexible, and yes … delicious? Well then, consider working in hospitality.
To check out firsthand what the industry has to offer, we recently headed down to Grub Fitzroy to ask the front-of-house staff what inspires them about working in hospitality, and the benefits they value.
Kitchen hand
“The flexible hours that come with working in the industry are great. I also enjoy the fast pace of it all – it gives me more energy when I’m outside of work.”
Front-of-house manager
“The versatility of people you meet in the industry makes the work really interesting. I’ve learned not to judge a book by its cover; getting to know people and building rapport is a great part of it all.”
Bar manager
“Working in an ethical workplace is important to me. At Grub we recycle our things and order a lot of our produce locally, which I’m happy about.”
Front of house
“I used to work in a bank but I much prefer hospo work as you’re always on your feet, moving around, with things to do. Oh, and you get to eat delicious food all the time!”
Barista / bartender
“I’m passionate about coffee and food, so the hospitality work obviously suits me. I also like the way the industry encourages you to put your personality out there.”
