About Tommy's
Tommy's Sandwiches is an American deli in the heart of London. We bring Big, Beautiful Sandwiches and West Coast vibes to London. We opened in January 2026, are busy every day and have big plans for the future.
We make almost everything in house. The meats, the sauces, the cookies. Everything we do is built around quality, speed, and the guest experience.
This is our first shop, so we work hard, experiment a lot, and honestly get things wrong sometimes, but we have a blast doing it.
The job
You will be the heart and soul of Tommy’s Sandwiches. Most of your day is behind the counter, making sandwiches and providing an awesome experience to everyone who walks in the door.
The rest of your time will be spent prepping. We have chefs who handle the complicated stuff, but you will be slicing meat, chopping veg, mixing sauces, etc. Basically anything that needs to be done to get ready for the next day.
Some kitchen/prep experience is preferred, but not a dealbreaker. We'll show you our recipes, our systems, and how to use the equipment.
What we need from you
- Love for hospitality -- Without happy guests, none of this works. You actually need to enjoy making someone’s day better.
- Work ethic -- Our lunch rush is a 2-3 hour sprint. You must be ready to move fast and provide excellent service at the same time.
- Adaptability -- We’re a new business and things change fast. You should be excited to change things up and learn from mistakes.
- Growth mindset -- The bare minimum is not enough. You should always be looking for ways to improve yourself and the team.
- Easy going attitude -- We have high standards but don’t take ourselves too seriously. After all, we’re just meat sacks on a rock hurtling through space.
- No fear about the back -- We have chefs for the big kitchen jobs, but you will be doing real work in the kitchen. If that’s scary, this is not the right job for you.
What you get from us
- £13.25-£14.50 depending on experience
- Free lunch every shift and 50% off when you’re not working
- A real say in the business -- You are not a cog in the wheel. You’ll work with Tommy himself often (he’s writing this right now), and he’s always looking for feedback from the team on how to improve the shop.
Practical stuff
- Full-time and part-time available
- Weekend availability required
- Morning availability preferred, breakfast shifts will likely start at 7am
- Level 2 Food Safety certification will be required. If you don’t have one, we’ll help you get it.
- Able to stand for a full shift and lift up to 10kg
- Legal right to work in the UK
