Job description

Company Description

Founded in 2008 by Serge Trigano and his sons Jérémie and Benjamin (co-founders of Club Med), Mama Shelter is a creator of living spaces and a daily director!

These are atypical places, where everyone feels at home, places born of a blend of influences, freedoms, sensations and emotions. Each Mama tells the story of the city in which it is located, and all influences blend together. We offer our guests a joyful atmosphere and exceptional service at an affordable price.

More than just rooms and restaurants, Mama Shelter is a dynamic, a vibe: they are true urban refuges, not only aesthetically pleasing and modern but also popular, welcoming and sexy.

Whatever your role, we're all here to make the customer experience as unforgettable as possible.

Our mission: to bring little moments of happiness to people.

Our growth has enabled us to offer our teams great career paths through internal development and international mobility, and it's not a question of diplomas or years of experience.

Mama Shelter is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion: Mama is an inclusive company, and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent. Our advertisements are gender-neutral, so the masculine gender is used here to lighten the text.

Job Description

Would you like to do the opening of our Mama Shelter Cape Town?

THE MISSION?

• Central to the Mama experience, the bar is an important social hub for our guests. They should be in good hands with you.
• You assist in ensuring the smooth running of service and take care of the setup and reset of the bar.
• The customer experience must be flawless, and you’re the one who ensures it.

Qualifications

MADE FOR YOU? ONLY IF …

• You know how to prepare all kinds of drinks: beers, cocktails, soft drinks... nothing is out of your reach.
• Details matter to you – nothing is overlooked thanks to your anticipation!
• You’re caring and friendly, overflowing with kindness that you just don’t know what to do with!
• The bar is your playground, and you treat it with care: clean and tidy – your flat has never looked so spotless!
• You create & contribute to a warm atmosphere for the venue, but we prefer you behind the bar rather than on it.
• Join the adventure to grow and evolve with the Mama Gang!

Additional Information

YOUR LITTLE EXTRAS :

• You’ve got plenty of “FLAIR”.
• You know how to answer more than just the question: what's your favourite drink?
• “Central Perk” isn’t the only bar you know.

Additional Information

We’re sure you know the beat:

• 1st verse:We set up a first telephone interview with our HR if your application moves to our rhythm.
• Chorus:After the successful telephone interview, we will see you at Mama, be ready!
• (chorus x2 depending on the position)
• Last verse:Mama won’t leave you wondering; you will have an answer from us whatever the outcome.
