The Role

Food, friends, and flow — that’s the vibe we’re serving. As a Food & Beverage Teamer at The Salty, you’ll help us fuel our guests with fresh, simple meals and create a warm, welcoming dining experience. Think tacos, quesadillas, sourdough pizzas, group dinners, and sunny breakfasts — tasty, unfussy, and full of good energy.

  • Keep It Fresh: Maintain a clean, organized kitchen with high standards of hygiene.
  • Stay Stocked: Support with food supplies and inventory checks.
  • Guest Connection: Chat with guests at our open kitchen — your smile is part of the experience.
  • Team Spirit: Collaborate with retreat managers and the wider crew to make sure everything runs smoothly.

What We’re Looking For

  • Hospitality Heart: You enjoy making people feel welcome through food and service.
  • Kitchen Comfort: Previous kitchen or service experience helps, but enthusiasm and a positive attitude are key.
  • Fast Learner: Adaptable, flexible, and ready to pick things up quickly.
  • Good Communicator: Fluent in English; other languages are a bonus.
  • Detail-Oriented: Cleanliness and organization are your strong suits.

Perks

  • Free Stay & Food: Shared staff accommodation, daily breakfast, and up to 4 group dinners each week.
