We’re a small, independent food business that started with pop-ups and has grown into our first permanent restaurant in Brixton Village.
We specialise in cheesesteaks, cooked fresh to order on the griddle, and we’re now looking for an experienced person to join our team and take responsibility for our evening service and closing shift.
This is an important role within our small team. We’re looking for someone who is confident, reliable and experienced enough to work independently and take ownership of the restaurant during the evening.
About the role
The shift will start at approximately 6-7pm, when you will take over the evening service.
The restaurant generally becomes quieter in the evening, so you will be responsible for keeping the service running smoothly, preparing and cooking food, serving customers and keeping the restaurant organised.
Our customer service finishes at approximately 10pm, after which you will complete the restaurant’s closing duties, including cleaning the kitchen and service areas, washing equipment and dishes, restocking and making sure everything is ready for the following day.
The closing process normally takes approximately 1–1.5 hours, so the shift will usually finish around 11pm–11:30pm, depending on how quickly the closing duties are completed.
Your responsibilities
During service:
- Preparing and cooking cheesesteaks and other menu items on the griddle
- Following our recipes and maintaining consistent food quality
- Taking customer orders and payments
- Providing friendly and professional customer service
- Managing the evening service confidently and efficiently
- Keeping the kitchen and restaurant clean and organised throughout the shift
After service:
- Completing the end-of-day cleaning
- Cleaning the griddle, kitchen equipment and work surfaces
- Washing dishes and utensils
- Cleaning the customer/service areas
- Taking out rubbish and completing general closing duties
- Checking that everything is clean, secure and ready for the next service
- Locking up the restaurant at the end of the shift
The person we’re looking for
This role would suit someone with previous experience in a restaurant, takeaway, café or similar food-service environment.
