Curious? You should be

 

When we go out to eat or simply to have a break during the day at our favourite cafeteria, what makes us return, over and over? What makes these places the only places we like to go to?

 

It is a combination of really good quality food that we love to eat, a comfortable and stylish ambience and service so excellent you never have to even think about it.

 

We are looking for one person who really believes this, who wants to give the kind of food and service they would want to get, someone who is very hard-working and passionate for the food and hospitality industry, someone who has been to Paris and London and thought ‘Why can’t we have this level in Malta?’

 

You will know the difference between white sliced bread and a real ftira, love food and love watching people enjoy it, the difference between dishwater and a good cappuccino and will have no social issues: you can interact with Maltese from all walks of life, have enough linguistic skills to service non-Maltese (and get them talking when they return) and enough discretion to handle anybody from a couple of ladies gossiping about their husbands to lawyers wheeling and dealing.

 

Ideally you would also have an artistic bent: in the kitchen you prefer to make sweets because they need precision and focus. You also love to dabble with crafts, painting, pottery or anything that makes this life just a little bit nicer.

 

Moreover the following will put you at a huge advantage:

• Having worked as a PA
• Recently finished your Advanced levels
• Recently graduated from the ITS and already sucked up in some huge hotel’s kitchen (and not really enjoying it at all)
• A love of food blogging, recipe writing, reading, researching about food, eating out and going to the farmer’s market

 

This is a full-time position and we are paying a generous salary, very high commissions on all sales and you even get to keep your tips.
