Position Overview & Specifications
Friendly, urban, street food style KOI Ramen Bar is looking to recruit Restaurant Crew Members in our "grey" Kitchen in the heart of Herne Hill. We service all our Deliveroo & Uber Eats orders from here, but are also open to Takeaway and Eat In Customers outside our Railway Arch.
We are an international mix of locals, Europeans, Asians & Japanese, and have been rated in the Top 3 Ramen Bars in London (Evening Standard), Timeout Cheap Eats of the Week and Outstanding by Giles Coren of the Times Magazine. We aim to serve the very best quality ramen & gyoza at the very best prices with the biggest smiles! And if you like Asian food and culture, you'll especially love it here!
We work hard and we work fast! But at the same time we have fun and are friendly & helpful. We try to work smart and efficiently and will need you to work independently at times as well. You need to be hands on, as we share the workload, do some light food prep, and you look after the shop as if it's your own. If you can work to high standards come and join us! We will give you a good work life balance, but in turn we demand great performance in order to maintain our high ratings and reputation!
We prefer someone with at least some hospitality experience, but if your good with your hands, work hard and are self motivated, then we'll happily train you.
