📍 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
Note: Housing is not provided, and rent is paid by the employee. Apartment options and prices vary, but we actively help connect you with local contacts and opportunities.
This role is ideal for someone who values both professional hospitality and quality of life.
Stunning coastline, mountains, and fjords An active outdoor lifestyle (hiking, kayaking, nature year-round) A calmer pace of life while still working professionally A close-knit hospitality scene where people know each other
