Kitchen Porter – Lotti’s

Job description

Company Description

We’re looking for a Kitchen Porter to join our team at Lotti’s. Reporting to our Head and Sous Chef you will be responsible to ensure a clean workspace and any other reasonable requests.

Lotti's is our buzzing neighbourhood restaurant. The menu features an internationally inspired brasserie style cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. During the day, Lotti's is a place to meet, relax or work, and from Friday to Sunday the bar plays host to local DJ talent.

More about us…

Once the Mayor’s home, now our home, on Amsterdam’s Herengracht canal. The Hoxton, Amsterdam houses 111 rooms, The Apartment, our meetings & events concept, and our all-day restaurant & bar, Lotti’s.

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What’s in it for you…  

·  Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
·  Competitive salary.
·  25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) and pension.
·  Food on us during your shift.
·  Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
·  Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
·  Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
·  Hox Hero and Nifty fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
·  An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
·  Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time!
·  The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
·  Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
·  Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

 

Job Description

What you’ll do…

·  Be lightning fast. You like to help the kitchen in super-fast time.
·  Grab your rubber gloves, because you need to ensure the kitchen is spic and span.
·  Make sure that our back of house and the pass is set up correctly and kept tidy at all times.
·  Collect and wash up pots, pans, plates and cutlery and return them to their place, without being asked.
·  Ensure food preparation sites are clean and ready.
·  Ensure full stack of plates ready to be used by the kitchen at all times.
·  Unload food and equipment deliveries and keep the storage organized.
·  Keep track of the stock and let the Head Chef know, if an order needs to be placed
(for example soap and detergents).
·  Communicate well with others in order to ensure a smooth operation.
·  Keep work surfaces, walls and floors clean and sanitized.
·  Never say no. We don’t and neither should you.
·  Undertake any other reasonable request from management.

Qualifications

What we're looking for...  

·  Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
·  Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
·  You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
·  You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
·  You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
·  If we got stuck in a lift together we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
·  You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.
·  Experience in a fast moving dynamic environment.
·  You value learning and development and are looking to join a hard working team.
·  You get your team and know how to best support them every day.
·  You want to contribute your own ideas and techniques and be a part of a creative kitchen environment.
