Demi Chef de Partie – Lotti’s

Company Description

We’re looking for a passionate Demi Chef de Partie to join our team at Lotti’s. Reporting to our Head and Sous Chef you will be responsible to guarantee quality and consistency in dishes and service.

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…

• Maintain the assigned station in a clean and orderly manner at all times.
• Follow standard recipes and minimizing waste to ensure that the restaurant food cost is in line with budget.
• Work in the assigned station to ensure that dishes are prepared according to standard.
• Ensure all working utensils and equipment are maintained to maximize life span to operate to full capacity.
• Receiving of daily produce deliveries and checking of quality (including weights and temperature).
• Complete quality preparation of all duties to clean, set up, handover and close kitchen to standard.

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.
• You have a minimum of one year's work experience as Demi Chef de Partie or Commis in a hotel or restaurant with good standard.
• You have great knowledge of kitchen hygiene practices and occupational health and safety standards will be essential.
• You’re flexible: you don’t care for the 9 to 5 life and aren’t afraid to jump into work at any moment.
