Love food, enjoy being part of a busy team, and want to learn more about how a professional kitchen works? Keep reading.
At Zoku, we’re not your typical hotel. We’re a community-driven space where people can live, work, socialize, and connect with the city around them. We believe hospitality should feel personal, human, and effortless and that starts behind the scenes just as much as it does in front of our guests. That’s where you come in!
As a Kitchen Helper, you’ll be the backbone of our Living Kitchen.
You’ll make sure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes by keeping the kitchen (both front and back of house) spotless, organized, and in line with HACCP regulations. You’ll handle all dishwashing, deep cleaning, incoming deliveries and ensuring everything runs efficiently so our guests receive great food in a clean and welcoming environment. And most of all help with basic food preparation, mis en place as instructed by chefs so that our chefs can focus on creating food that keeps guests coming back for more.
Keep the kitchen running. Make sure all kitchen equipment, dishes, utensils, and workspaces are cleaned, organized, and ready for service. You’ll help maintain the high standards that keep our Living Kitchen operating smoothly.
Support the chefs. Help with food preparation, mise en place, cutting ingredients, and setting up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and events. The better prepared the kitchen is, the better service we can deliver.
Handle deliveries, storage and waste. Receive deliveries, organize stock, rotate products correctly, and ensure everything is stored according to food safety guidelines. You’re also in charge of keeping the waste separation on point.
Maintain food safety standards. Follow deep cleaning schedules and HACCP procedures to ensure our kitchen remains safe, clean, and compliant at all times.
Be part of the team. You’ll work closely with both front and back of house teams and help create the welcoming atmosphere that makes Zoku feel like home.
Live the brand. You uphold Zoku’s Brand Service Standards in the Living Kitchen, ensuring every area, whether visible or behind the scenes, reflects our values of quality, care, and community.
You’ll work alongside our chefs and Head Chef across mornings, mids and evenings. Because hospitality never stands still, flexibility is part of the role.

Zoku combines the energy of a lifestyle brand with the warmth of a close knit team. We challenge traditional hospitality by creating spaces where people genuinely connect, whether they’re staying for one night or several months.
Next to our award-winning design and our global press fan club, we’re proud to be a certified B Corp across all our locations, meaning we care deeply about people, community, and doing business with a heart (not just as a marketing line).
WHAT THE ZOKU?!

Throw yourself into your work and play, and effortlessly discover one of our home cities. It will be your home city next.

Zoku provides a home for business travelers and remote workers who want to live and work in a city for a few days to a few months. We’re a new type of business hotel offering a relaxed place to live, cowork, and socialize – while wiring you into the local scene. Here's everything you need to know about us:
THE END OF THE HOTEL ROOM
Sleep, work, dine, repeat: all from your own private Zoku Loft.
Bye-bye traditional hotel rooms. We did 150 interviews with our target audience and made 6 different prototypes to create the award-winning Zoku Loft: a spacious micro apartment designed for living comfortably and working efficiently.
In a regular hotel room or studio apartment, the bed always dominates. In the Zoku Loft, the big kitchen table serves as a focal point, shifting the center of the space from the bed to the living room. Now you have a truly livable home to explore Paris and work abroad for as long as you want.
ROOFTOP MEETING ROOMS & EVENT SPACES
Say goodbye to boring conference rooms and dull events. Our rooftop meeting venue is designed to fuel connections, spark ideas, and drive productivity. All of our meeting rooms are flooded with natural light and have amazing views overlooking the city.
On top of this, our friendly team of Sidekicks is on hand to help with whatever you may need, whether that’s providing delicious food and drinks from our on-site restaurant or helping you book an overnight stay in a Loft. Host a brainstorm session, networking event, presentation, or workshop, we can do it all!
COWORKING & COMMUNITY
Join a coworking community where everyone knows your name. Tons of natural light? Check! Inspiring spaces with friendly people? Double check! Discover our rooftop coworking spaces on the top floor of every Zoku. We offer Day Passes (with delicious lunch) and monthly coworking memberships.
