About Tommy's
Tommy's Sandwiches is an independent American deli in King's Cross. We opened in January 2026 and we're growing fast. Everything is made in-house, and we care about two things equally, great food and giving every guest a great experience.
About the Role
This is a hands-on hybrid role across the kitchen and the counter. In a single shift you might be prepping in the kitchen (slicing meats, portioning proteins, batching sauces), building sandwiches and burritos on the line, then serving guests through the lunch rush. You must be down to switch between all three.
We make a lot from scratch, so the kitchen work is real. But hospitality is core to who we are, so we need someone who genuinely likes people and brings energy to the counter.
We'll train you on our recipes and systems. You bring the fundamentals and the right attitude.
What we're looking for
- Experience in a busy kitchen or fast-paced food spot. You know how service works and can keep up
- Confident on both food prep and customer service, and happy to switch between them mid-shift
- Self-directed. You can stay productive without someone standing over you
- Warm and quick with guests. You actually like the people part
- Solid on food safety basics (labelling, FIFO, temperature control)
- Level 2 Food Safety certification, or willing to get it within 30 days. We'll help
- Available weekends and fully flexible
- Able to stand for long shifts, lift up to 10kg, and hold your own in a fast 2 to 3 hour rush
- Legal right to work in the UK
What you get
- Free lunch every shift
- A fast path to leadership as we grow
- A real say in how things run. We're a new business and your input actually matters
