Frequently asked

What peopleaskus most.

About the process, the conditions and day-to-day life in the house. If you have any question, write to info@restaurantelospinochos.com.

What openings do you have right now?

It depends on the time, but we are usually looking for an experienced cook, kitchen assistant, head of dining room and sommelier. If your profile is bar, management or office, we are also interested. Send your application with the role you are interested in from the dropdown and we will let you know.

What is the selection process?

We read your application with care (no bots, we read them ourselves), and if it fits we will call you for a short interview. Depending on the role, we then do a real trial in the kitchen or dining room, for a service or a couple of hours, so we both see if there is a fit.

What conditions do you offer?

Permanent contract, salary above the Castilla y Leon hospitality collective agreement, two consecutive days off (Tuesday and Wednesday), shifts planned in advance, lunch at the restaurant and a serious kitchen environment, no shouting.

Do I need previous experience?

It depends on the role. For an experienced cook, we need someone who has already worked in a restaurant kitchen. For an assistant, bar or internship, we value attitude, willingness and a desire to learn more than years. If in doubt, send your application anyway.

What are the hours? Are there dinners or double weekends?

Lunch service only, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. No dinners. Tuesdays and Wednesdays the restaurant is closed, so you always have two days off in a row. Weekends are rotated across the team.

Do you accept interns or people without paperwork in order?

Yes, we accept student interns (hospitality, sommelier, culinary management) with an agreement from their school. For the other roles we need paperwork in order to formalise the contract from day one.

Is there room to grow in the house?

Yes. We are a small project, not a big chain: responsibilities are shared seriously and people with judgement and consistency move up. We have promoted assistants to cooks, and cooks to second-in-command, as the team has grown.
