Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It...
We’re opening our third Social Hub in Italy and second one in Florence, well known for its majestic Renaissance heritage while looking at the future. Located in a bustling neighborhood and surrounded of local bars, restaurants & shops and a few steps from the Centre of the city, The Social Hub Belfiore will operate around 549 rooms, a Boulevard with commercial activities , a thriving co-working community, restaurants and a 7.000 sqm rooftop with a pool and green areas. We’re so much more than just a hotel. Are you ready to reimagine hospitality with us and establish TSH in the heart of the Florentine community?
We are looking for someone with stacks of experience who can help put our newly branded F&B concept on the map, starting in November 2024. It is critical that you can bring a great sense of ownership and personality to the team and lead the kitchen operations in Florence to help make it a massive success. You have the knowledge and experience to build the reputation of the kitchen operations. A real passion for a variety of cuisines and your natural leadership skills will mean huge success. You will be in the spotlight at center stage in the restaurant. This is an opportunity for you to solidify your reputation in the food industry, teach others and build a legacy for many years to come.
