minimum requirement Full time position
Today Rwanda is
booming with entrepreneurs and tourism and has become one of the safest and
most beautiful settings for doing business.
The capital, Kigali,
is a peaceful city with a high quality of life and, with Heaven’s help,
delicious food!
Heaven Restaurant
& Bar opened in May of 2008 in the lovely neighborhood of Kiyovu. Started
as a social enterprise to improve service levels in the hospitality sector and
create employment, Heaven is consistently ranked one of the country’s top
restaurants with a spectacular ambience on a custom-built outdoor terrace
overlooking the entire city. Heaven is committed to an international standard
of cuisine and service, and is continuously seeking ways to improve all areas
of the business.
We are looking for a
creative, energetic “foodie” to improve our kitchen organization, and
help us run an efficient and profitable operation. While some culinary training
and restaurant management experience are preferred, a great personality and
willingness to interact with our international customer-base is the most
important trait. Similarly, some proficiency in French would be great but not
essential.
Responsibilities
include: kitchen management and staff training, purchasing, menu development,
some front of house interactions; increasing revenue and lowering expenses;
team-building efforts, managing conflict; inventory control and management of
stock; showing creativity and innovation when it comes to all areas of the
business such as new promotions and special events, and helping us design
systems to monitor and evaluate. This is a great opportunity for someone with
an adventurous spirit, and an entrepreneurial approach!
Compensation:
Stipend up to $1,500 per month; profit sharing negotiable.
