Team Member — Front of House — Coyo Taco (New Opening) job at London Full Time NEW

About Coyo Taco

Address: Central London — Orchard Place, SW1 (1 minute from St James’s Park station)

Coyo Taco started as a little taco shop in Wynwood, Miami in 2014 and is now a global brand with sites across the US, Portugal, Paris, Panama and the Dominican Republic. London is next.

Our motto is simple: todo es fresco — everything fresh. Tortillas hand-pressed daily. Guacamole smashed to order. Proteins responsibly sourced. We do modern Mexican street food properly, in a place that’s loud, friendly and fast — with a late-night bar tucked away once the kitchen winds down.

This summer we open our first UK site in central London. We’re putting the team together now — and we want energy, hands-on attitude and people who genuinely love hospitality.

The role

This is the role that makes Coyo, well, Coyo. As a Team Member you’re on the floor — greeting, taking orders, running food, clearing, resetting, smiling, helping. We don’t believe in stiff service; we believe in fast, friendly, and being properly present with every guest.

Full time – Mon–Sun rota, 30–45 hours per week, across lunch, dinner and weekend service

Part time – Mon–Sun rota, up to 20 hours per week, mix of evenings and weekends

• 50% staff discount on food for you and up to six people
• Refer-a-friend bonus when someone you bring in passes probation
• Paid food safety, allergens and brand training — fully on the clock

• Your Birthday Off guaranteed
• Giving back day- to get out and help in your local community [CK1]
