WORKING AT OTEMBA

We’re a family-run business — and it shows.We work hard, keep it fun, and look out for each other.
No drama, just a solid team.

Two locations, one crew:
West or De Pijp — pick what suits you.
Prefer to stay in one spot or mix it up? We’re flexible.

We’re into good energy, initiative, and people who bring their own style.

Be yourself — that works at Otemba.

FLOOR STAFF

You’re the face of the floor.
From taking orders to delivering dishes and checking in with guests, you keep the energy up and the service smooth. You know when to step in and when to stay chill.
Team player, quick thinker, always guest-focused.
Friendly, fast, and up for anything.

You’re more than just drinks — you’re the first hello.
You welcome guests at the bar, take orders, and keep the energy flowing. From pouring beers and mixing cocktails to running drinks to tables, you’re always one step ahead.
Organised, fast, and guest-focused — with a good eye and a steady hand. Behind the bar, but always part of the floor.

You lead the team from the floor.
You’re the connection between front of house, kitchen, and bar — making sure service runs smoothly and the team feels supported. You stay calm under pressure and lead by example.
Focused, responsible, and people-minded.
You keep the overview, we’ve got your back.

KITCHEN STAFF

You know your way around the line.
From mise en place to service — you prep, cook and plate with consistency, speed, and care. You work clean, stay focused, and keep cool when it gets busy. You’re confident enough to run your own section, but still a team player all the way.

Organised. Precise. Proud of your craft.
You don’t just cook — you bring the kitchen together.
