WHO ARE WE?

You can find out more about us and our principles here: zentralwaescherei.space

WHAT DO WE WANT FROM YOU?
We are looking for someone with experience in table service and at the bar. The ability to work collectively in a team, maintain a feedback culture and make decisions horizontally is essential. You should be able to work in a self-organized manner and have the courage to contribute your ideas and constructive suggestions. We are looking for a person who understands gastronomy as enjoyment and hospitality within the core values of the association and wants to work closely with the entire company to implement these values.

WHAT WILL YOUR TASKS BE?
You will be part of the catering team at the Central Laundry and therefore jointly responsible for the bar/restaurant/club operations. You will work during the day or at night. Your tasks include serving guests, preparing drinks, serving drinks/food and the usual cleaning and tidying up work. Our concept is a mixture of restaurant, café and bar. On Fridays and Saturdays there is an additional club component to your work with live music and parties and our second bar in the “Beschallungsraum”. You will be in lively and cooperative contact with the kitchen team, artists, guests and the entire operation.

TASKS

  • Daily lunch and/or dinner service, including food service and drink recommendations
  • Preparation and serving of coffee drinks, drinks and basic cocktails
  • Daily cleaning and tidying up work
  • Creative input and implementation of the gastronomy concept
  • Work in an association with a standard wage (CHF 25/h net) and regular team meetings
  • You work mainly in the evenings and at weekends, during events (concerts/parties) and sometimes until the early hours of the morning
  • You are willing to contribute to the Zentralwäscherei association on a voluntary basis
    We offer you a working environment far removed from the usual hierarchies of the gastro industry. This gives you room for creativity and a pleasant working atmosphere. However, we also expect a high degree of initiative and the ability to take responsibility collectively.

Are you interested? We are looking forward to meeting you!
