Porto, Portugal Look.Sharp Retail Cafe Tempo inteiro

**FULL TIME ROLE**

LOOK.Sharp Café is part of Porto’s international creative hub — a small place where locals, expats, and travellers meet for quality food, good coffee, and great company. Our menu reflects that mix: fresh, simple dishes inspired by global flavours, from brunch favourites to evening bites.

Following the Promotion of our Lead Chef to fill a Managerial Role, we are currently looking for a **full-time experienced cook** who’s confident running a small kitchen on their own and enjoys creating food that people remember.

**Who you are**

You’re a capable, organised cook with experience working independently in a café or small kitchen. You love flavour and presentation but know how to keep things practical, efficient, and consistent.

You enjoy variety — from breakfast service to evening plates — and you’re comfortable following international recipes. You take pride in maintaining a clean, well-run kitchen and staying calm and professional during busy moments.

**What you’ll be doing**
- Preparing and cooking breakfast, brunch, and day/evening meals inspired by international flavours
- Managing all aspects of a small kitchen: prep, cooking, plating, and cleaning
- Maintaining food quality, hygiene, and organisation standards
- Coordinating with the café team for smooth service during events and busy hours
- Monitoring inventory and assisting with ordering and supplier coordination

**What we’re looking for**
- Proven experience as a cook or chef in a small or medium-sized kitchen
- Confidence working independently (often solo during service)
- Strong organisational, multitasking and time management skills
- Good understanding of international cuisines (Mediterranean, Asian, Latin, etc.)
- Some pastry/dessert experience including baking for specific dessert prep shifts
- Food safety and hygiene awareness
- Positive energy and reliability — someone the team can count on

**What we’re offering**
- Full-time role in a friendly, international café environment
- Daytime and Evening Hours finishing before midnight
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Tips and performance-based bonuses when café targets are met
- Space for creativity — contribute to menu ideas, new dishes, and seasonal specials with head chef / general manager & owner
- Opportunity to grow within the LOOK.Sharp brand as the kitchen and café expand

**Why you’ll enjoy it here**

LOOK.Sharp Café is more than just a café — it’s part of a growing brand built around creativity, community, and good food. You’ll have the trust to manage your own space, and the support of a close-knit, international team.

**Job Types**: Full-time, Contract, Commission, Permanent
Contract length: 6 months

Pay: 975.00€ - 1,150.00€ per month
