Now Hiring: Waitstaff
We’re Canyon Brewing. A crew of passionate humans united by a love for craft beer, adventure, and a touch of rebellious spirit. We’re big on great food, cold pints, and good vibes and we’re all about creating a fun, supportive workplace where you can genuinely thrive.
We’ve also got a pretty juicy menu of perks…
Entrees:
- Killer views
- Baddass team
Mains:
- Epic opportunities for growth
- Unforgettable experiences
- Competitive pay
- A wicked work culture (we actually like hanging out with each other)
Dessert:
- Free health insurance (where eligible)
- Discounts at our sister spots - Dishery, The Boat Shed Café & The Boat Shed Bakery
Enough about us, here’s what your days could look like when you join the team as our newest Waitstaff legend:
It’s a Saturday morning. You’ve started the day right with a lakeside coffee at The Boat Shed, the sun’s out, and you’re heading into Canyon ready for a busy service. The music’s up, the vibe’s good, and the first tables are rolling in. You’re chatting with locals, pouring craft beer like a pro, running plates that make people go “woah,” and keeping the energy light but efficient.
Fast forward to 8pm - the shift’s wrapped, the view’s still golden, and you’re kicking back in the beer garden with the crew. Laughs, a cold one, and that “this is what hospo should feel like” moment.
To shine in your new role, you’ll:
- Bring 1+ years’ experience in a busy restaurant or bar (bonus points if you love craft beer)
- Have a genuine passion for hospitality - great service, good banter, and attention to detail
- Be a team player who thrives when things get busy
- Have the right to work in NZ, and if you’re applying under an AEWV, a minimum guarantee of 30 hours per week applies
Our team works across a 7-day roster, backing each other up wherever needed - on the floor, behind the bar, or out in the beer garden.
