Location: Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, site based, WC2E, London


Lenny’s is a new pizzeria on Henrietta Street in Covent Garden, from Max Lewis and MJMK Restaurants. The result of Max’s extensive travels to New Haven, Connecticut, it is built around pizzas that are crispy, chewy and charred, a revival of his much-loved pop-up now finding a permanent home in the heart of Covent Garden. We’re building the opening team now.

We're looking for enthusiastic Waiters to join the opening team at Lenny's, creating warm, memorable experiences for every guest, every day. You'll be part of what makes a visit to Lenny's feel personal, easy and special.

This role suits someone who loves being on the floor, thrives on pace, and takes real pride in getting the details right. You'll work closely with the Guest Relations Manager and team, to keep service flowing, and you'll do it with a genuine passion for pizza and everything that comes with it.

This is a hands-on role for someone ready to help build something from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create warm, memorable experiences for every guest, from the first hello to the last goodbye
  • Take orders with confidence and guide guests through the dishes, pizzas, and beverages
  • Make sure every guest receives their order promptly and just as they wanted it
  • Anticipate what guests need before they ask, and go the extra mile to make every visit feel special
  • Know the menu inside out, and share it with real energy
  • Work closely with the kitchen, bar, and your team to keep service flowing and fun
  • Handle guest feedback with warmth and follow up where it matters
  • Set up your section before service so you are ready to go the moment the doors open
  • Help with cleaning down and closing checks so every shift finishes strong


What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who genuinely loves hospitality and wants to grow with us. You will bring:

  • A warm, friendly manner and real enthusiasm for looking after guests
  • Experience in a busy quality restaurant or bar,
  • A genuine love of hospitality, good food and pizza
  • A sharp memory for detail, from orders to guest preferences
  • Confidence talking guests through food and drink, including allergens
  • A calm, organised approach during a busy service
  • A team first attitude and a willingness to help wherever needed
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and festive periods

  • Enhanced pension contributions after 5 years with us.

About MJMK Restaurants

MJMK Restaurants owns and operates a collection of award-winning restaurants. Founded in 2018 by lifelong friends Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes, our journey began with Casa do Frango.

In 2020, we partnered with chef patron Santiago Lastra to open KOL, a restaurant in Marylebone celebrating Mexican cuisine with British ingredients. KOL has since earned a Michelin star and been named one of the World's 50 Best Restaurants.

2024 saw two new ventures: Fonda, a contemporary Mexican concept in Mayfair, our second collaboration with Santiago Lastra, and AngloThai in Marylebone, a debut restaurant from husband-and-wife John and Desiree Chantarasak, blending Thai flavours with British ingredients. Within three months of opening, AngloThai earned a Michelin star.

In the 2025 National Restaurant Awards, AngloThai was named The Square Opening of the Year and ranked 7th in the Top 100 list, followed by KOL at number 50. Luso, a contemporary Portuguese restaurant in Fitzrovia, opened in September 2025.

We're building ambitious restaurant brands with a focus on quality, creativity and guest experience, and we're just getting started.
