Hi, this is Bruno! Welcome to Room Mate Hotels!
Right now, I’m on the hunt for the happiest Kitchen Porter to make sure all my travelers start their day off right with a smile and a great meal! 🌞🍽️
About Room Mate Hotels: We’re not just another hotel chain; we’re your home away from home, with around 1,500 cozy rooms spread across the most exciting cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Istanbul, and Amsterdam. What’s our secret sauce? We treat our guests like friends, or "Room Mates," making them feel at home with our trendy designs, prime locations, and breakfast served until noon (sleep in, we’ve got you covered!).
What's the Role? We’re looking for a superstar Kitchen Porter to join our team in the bustling port area of Rotterdam. Picture yourself working in an old spice warehouse, surrounded by the scents of India, with the stunning architecture of the Dutch Manhattan just outside your window. Sounds dreamy, right?
🍳 Kitchen Sidekick Wanted!
Because every superhero chef needs a reliable partner in prep! As the Kitchen Porter, you’ll be the behind-the-scenes hero, making sure everything in our back-of-house area runs smoothly during your shift. 💪👨🍳
🔪 Your Mission: Prep Like a Pro
You’ll be the behind-the-scenes star who helps keep the kitchen running smoothly, fast, and flavorful. Your prep work helps reduce waste, improve quality, and makes sure every dish is ready for its moment to shine. Tasks include:
Chopping like a ninja 🥕

Lining up prepped ingredients like a mise en place master 👨🍳
Portioning and packaging goodies 🎁
Baking off bread, warming up soups, and plating up simple dishes 🍲
Following clear prep assignments so everything’s ready right on time ⏱
🧼 Clean Like a Kitchen Wizard
Even the best meals need clean counters and sparkling tools. You’ll help us stay spotless with:
Washing pots, pans, knives, gadgets, and more 🧽
Wiping down workstations and mopping floors ✨
Tossing trash like a pro ♻️
Giving kitchen machines and gear some TLC 🛠
💡 Why It Matters
Your support helps reduce waste, boost efficiency, and bring smiles to our guests (and chefs). Plus, clean and prepped means calm and collected in the heat of service.
