Job description

Founded by Meagan Cederbaum and Simon Bernhard , Mimo Hospitality is Swiss hospitality group passionate about creating memorable experiences and strengthening communities worldwide. "Mimo" stands for (mi)cro-(mo)ments. We’re all about the moments in-between, the little things. We believe in holistic services, that means going beyond the four walls of a restaurant or hotel and reaching out into the digital world. Before, during, and after, whether it’s online or right in front of you, we take time to thoughtfully design our concepts to serve our customers at every step of their journey. That’s because every micro-moment is an opportunity to deliver. We ultimately want to change the way hospitality is experienced by enabling inclusive hospitality. This means we relentlessly put our community at the center, create striking human experiences and deliberately run our ventures on agile principles.

About Alba Sourdough Pizza

" Alba Sourdough Pizza " is the first concept of Mimo-Hospitality. Alba means sunrise in Italian, we aim to shed a new light on the outdated notion of pizza-craftmanship. We embrace Italian craftsmanship and have Italian and Neapolitan blood running through our veins, but don't feel the need to conform to anyone's rules to be considered authentic. Authenticity is subjective.

• You embody the ALBA values: you adopt a warm, smiling, professional attitude towards the guests, help your colleagues during service and adopt a "problem solver" attitude.
• You will be making Neapolitan-style pizzas with a modern twist, using sourdough and high-quality ingredients.
• Translating the essence of our ALBA pizza manifesto into seasonal culinary experiences.
• Ensure all food is prepared as per food preparation requirements.
• Ensure meals are produced on time, and sufficient quantities are available for the various areas.
• Stay updated on industry trends and techniques to continuously refine your craft.
• Work efficiently in a fast-paced environment while maintaining attention to detail.
• Contribute to a positive and collaborative kitchen culture, supporting team growth and efficiency.
• Determining food inventory needs, stocking and ordering based on forecast with the idea to support ALBA's local and artisanal suppliers.

What we are looking for

• Previous experience is required. Experience in working with neapolitan style would be a plus.
• Interested in working with sourdough. Previous experience in using it would be an advantage.
• Knowledge of English at an intermediate level. Italian would be an advantage (but not required).
• Driving license cathegory B.
• Great energy, proactive attitude and team spirit.
• Boundless passion for hospitality, pizza & italian-inspired cuisine.
• Willingness to learn, take on new responsibilities and grow with Mimo-Hospitality & ALBA Sourdough Pizza.
• Max 1-2 split shifts a week.
• Life is expensive. We believe in good & fair pay.
• Provision of administrative support for work permits.
• Dedicated training budget for your personal development.
• Experience in running a modern F&B company according to agile principles.
