Kitchen Porter / Cleaner — Coyo Taco (New Opening) Full Time NEW

Address: Central London — Orchard Place, SW1 (1 minute from St James’s Park station)

About Coyo Taco

Coyo Taco started as a little taco shop in Wynwood, Miami in 2014 and is now a global brand with sites across the US, Portugal, Paris, Panama and the Dominican Republic. London is next. Our motto is simple: todo es fresco — everything fresh. Tortillas hand-pressed daily. Guacamole smashed to order. Margaritas and agua frescas mixed from scratch. Proteins responsibly sourced. We do modern Mexican street food properly, in a place that’s loud, friendly and fast — with a late-night bar tucked away once the kitchen winds down. This summer we open our first UK site in central London. We’re putting the team together now — and we want energy, hands-on attitude and people who genuinely love hospitality. The role A kitchen runs on its KP. You’ll keep the wash up moving, the kitchen and floors clean, the bins emptied and the chefs supplied with what they need to keep cooking. We see this role as essential — and you’ll be paid, trained and treated that way.
