Looking to build a career in hospitality?

Are you interested in developing a career in a kitchen? Are you willing to learn quickly, gain valuable experience, and develop your kitchen skills?

This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a professional café kitchen. You will learn essential kitchen routines, procedures, and practical skills, with structured training and support to help you become confident working independently.

If you are hardworking, willing to learn, and passionate about working in hospitality, we would love to hear from you!

Who We Are

At Kochi Cafe, we specialise in fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes, handcrafted cakes, premium matcha drinks, and exceptional coffee. Our mission is to provide outstanding customer service, create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and give every guest a memorable café experience.

We're building a team that values consistency, creativity, and excellent service. At Kochi Cafe, you'll receive full training, develop your skills, contribute new ideas, and even have the opportunity to help shape our seasonal menu.

Location: Lower Ground Floor, Royal Victoria Place, Tunbridge Wells, TN1 2SR
Pay: £11.50–£12.90 per hour, depending on experience
Start Date: ASAP

What You'll Be Doing

Prepare and perfect our signature Japanese soufflé pancakes (full training provided to achieve the perfect fluffy texture).
Prepare and organise ingredients for the following day's production.
Monitor stock levels of ingredients and toppings, replenishing supplies as required.
Maintain excellent food hygiene standards and keep the kitchen and café clean, organised, and well presented.
Complete daily opening and closing duties.
Work closely with the rest of the team to deliver a smooth and enjoyable customer experience.

What We're Looking For

Previous baking or cooking knowledge or experience is required.
Ability to work independently while maintaining accuracy and consistency in a fast-paced environment.
A genuine passion for cooking, baking, and learning new skills.
A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to take pride in your work.
Friendly, reliable, and able to work well as part of a team.
Flexible with working hours, including weekends.
Strong multitasking, time management, and attention to detail.

Perks & Benefits

Complimentary coffee during every shift.
Free soufflé pancakes while working.
30% staff discount on food and drinks when off shift.
A supportive, friendly, and inclusive team environment.
Full training and opportunities to develop your skills.
Opportunities to gain experience across different areas of the business and progress your career as we grow.

Our Recruitment Process

Application → CV Review → 15-Minute Online Interview → In-Store Interview & Trial Session → Offer & Onboarding

Application question(s):

Where are you located? How long does it take you to travel to the cafe?
Are you looking for a permanent job or a temporary part-time job?
What's your availability like each week? We're looking for someone who's available on weekdays and at least one day on the weekend.
When would you be available to start?
The role is mainly focused on food prep and require working at the kitchen independently. Is that something you'd be interested in?
