Vacancy
Currently we are fully staffed, you're more than welcome to apply for this job but when a spot opens we will reply to your application. Thanks.
As a Team Member at Salsa Shop, you can be deployed anywhere in the shop. You will learn everything required to run the shop. In the first weeks, you will be trained in ‘the prep.’ Here, you will learn to cook, taste, and prepare all recipes. After that, you will be trained on ‘the line,’ where food is served and sales are made. During your working day, you will help customers with their orders, and – together with your co-workers – you will ensure that the shop is always clean and tidy.
You will also replenish food and beverages and cut vegetables. In addition to training on food, you will receive training on dealing with customers in various situations. There are morning, daytime, and evening shifts. Those working the morning shift prepare all the food, and those working the evening shift clean up everything and lock up. The team mostly consists of part-time students. When you're new in the team, you'll get a 'buddy' who's a experienced co-worker. Therefore, you'll be having good guidance from the start.
You need to enjoy to have social interactions with the customers.
Working week
Sue van Heerde
Pleasant days occur when people regularly come into the shop and you can constantly help customers, but you can also take time to have a chat with them.
On less pleasant days, there are peaks and slow times in the number of customers. One hour, you’re doing almost nothing, and the next, you suddenly have to run around.

After the SL comes the Assistant General Manager (AGM). As an AGM, you are co-responsible for the shop and the staff, and you learn what it is like to run your own business. There is an opportunity to take another step and become a General Manager (GM). A GM has one shops under their wing.
