Function Staff jobs in Surry Hills, paid the day after you work.
Surry Hills is the densest dining suburb in Sydney: Crown Street and Bourke Street run restaurants, wine bars and cafes end to end, and the small-bar trade means many two- and three-person kitchens that feel a missing cook badly. MyGig’s office is a short walk away in Haymarket, and we staff the strip from the Sydney pool, our deepest.
Function work is hospitality in bursts: weddings, corporate dinners and race days, mostly evenings and weekends, booked shift by shift. Typical requirements: rsa for functions serving alcohol.
