Kitchen Porter (m/f/d)

Company Description

The Hoxton Charlottenburg (Berlin) – Kitchen Porter (m/f/d)

At The Hoxton, we know that unforgettable guest experiences start behind the scenes – and no team keeps things running quite like our Back of House crew.

We are looking for a Kitchen Porter (m/f/d) to join our team and play a key role in keeping our kitchen operations running smoothly.

Our first Hoxton in Germany is home to 234 bedrooms of varying sizes, a vibrant wintergarden featuring all-day dining, a lively lobby and bar, a coffee bar and streetside terrace, and The Apartment – our unique meetings and events concept.

Reporting to our Executive Chef, you'll be an essential part of the kitchen team, ensuring that our chefs and service teams have everything they need to deliver great food and memorable experiences. From keeping the kitchen spotless and organized to supporting deliveries, stock movement and maintaining hygiene standards, you'll help create a safe, efficient and well-run environment behind the scenes.

At The Hoxton, we believe every role matters and as a Kitchen Porter, you'll be right at the heart of the action.

More about us...

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.
