Section Waiter for Busy Italian Restaurant

**About House Made Hospitality**:
House Made Hospitality is a Sydney-based and globally-inspired hospitality group, with people, quality and care at heart. Made up of five partners, we are a collective of hospitality professionals who believe that food, drink and the experiences that accompany them, are a conduit to human connection.

Since opening Hinchcliff House in early 2021, we have grown to operate 10 distinctive venues and have multiple new sites under development, reflecting our commitment to contributing to exceptional eating and drinking experiences in Sydney and Australia.

**About the Venue**

Grana is a busy, approachable, inviting Italian restaurant on the ground floor of the heritage-listed woolstore Hinchcliff House. We mill our own flour on premise, that goes into making our bread, pasta, and pastries every day.

All of our on-site production is in full view of our guests: to educate and entertain, so they can witness the origin of their experience. There is a high level of quality, care and authenticity in all that we do.

Our menu is approachable and driven by fresh and high quality produce, with our drinks being simple, well made and tasty.

We combine this with humble and warm service, opening our doors from lunch to late evenings, 7 days a week.
