Waitress/Waiter

Vida Plena is a young hospitality group born in the city of Lisbon in 2018.

The heart of everything we do is trying to make our people and guests feel at home with a daily dedication to what we think are the pillars of hospitality :

A warm and blissful experience, with a diverse and inclusive crowd, good and fresh food, and a caring team and service.

With a world in constant flux - where things are quickly overpassed - Vida Plena holds off to its founding principles and aims to defy fashionable trends or ephemerous tendencies.

We simply do things with passion and heart, trusting our instincts and doing what feels right for our people and customers.

Respect, kindness, ambition, and modernity are at the core of our hiring values as well as having loads of fun throughout the journey!

We commit to spreading those values, good energy, positivism, and happiness to our community, guests, employees, suppliers, and partners.

We never take anything too seriously, we just want to enjoy what's best in life - good food, good time in good company all in an environment of respect and love.
