Runner - Lenny's - MJMK Restaurants

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 looking for Runners to join the team at Lenny's, keeping food and drink moving quickly and confidently from the pass to the table. You'll play a key part in making sure every dish reaches guests exactly as it left the kitchen.

This role suits someone quick on their feet, calm under pressure, and keen to learn the ropes of restaurant service. You'll work closely with the kitchen and floor team, and it's a great way into hospitality with real room to grow.

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

Key Responsibilities

  • Run food and drink from the pass to the table quickly and accurately.
  • Check every dish against the ticket before it leaves the pass.
  • Communicate clearly with the kitchen and floor team throughout service.
  • Support with table setup, resets and clearing throughout the shift.
  • Keep the pass and service areas clean, organised and stocked.
  • Flag any delays to the floor team so guests are kept informed.
  • Support the wider team wherever needed during busy periods.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone energetic, reliable and ready to learn. You will bring:

  • Genuine enthusiasm for restaurants and hospitality.
  • The ability to stay calm and quick on your feet during a busy service.
  • Good attention to detail, especially when it comes to matching tickets to dishes.
  • A team-first attitude and willingness to help wherever needed.
  • Clear communication skills with both kitchen and floor teams.
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and festive periods.

What We Offer

  • 50% team discount across all MJMK restaurants.
  • Up to £500 team referral bonus.
  • Opportunity to grow within one of London's most ambitious hospitality groups.
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after one year with us.
  • Extra day's holiday every year you're with us, up to 5 extra days.
  • Mental health and well-being assistance via Hospitality Action, offering free advice and counselling.
  • Enhanced pension contributions after 5 years with us.
  • Anniversary scheme reward for every year you're 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.
