Job Description

Summary

This is a prep-heavy kitchen role focused on producing food 1-2 days in advance, not same-day service. This is not a KP role and not a full-service restaurant kitchen. You'll be expected to work independently, move fast, and produce volume.

About Tommy's Sandwiches

At Tommy's Sandwiches, we're on a mission to add texture to life through food.

We're an authentic, independent, American sandwich shop in the heart of London. We serve Big Beautiful Sandwiches, good vibes, and an awesome experience to everyone who walks in the door.

We just opened in December and are looking to ramp up our kitchen team.

About the Role

This is a prep-first kitchen role.

Your main responsibility is producing prep for future service. That means prepping meats, cheeses, vegetables, and sauces in volume, typically one to two days in advance. This is not same-day lunch prep and not a full-service restaurant kitchen.

As we expand into breakfast, this role will also take on responsibility for cooking American-style breakfast burritos on the griddle. You do not need to know our burrito recipes on day one, but you must be comfortable working a griddle. We'll train you on our food.

You'll be expected to clean as you go and do your fair share of dishes as part of normal prep workflow. There is no separate dish role.

Our opening hours will be around 8am-7pm. Prep is planned in advance, which keeps hours reasonable and avoids very early starts. The pace is focused and productive.
