Job Details

Deli Manager - Zakynthos, Greece

The Deli & Kitchen offers a laid back alternative to our busy club restaurants where our guests can enjoy simple food, done well, whilst enjoying views of the Ionian Sea. As well as serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Deli & Kitchen also stocks an array of homemade produce and dishes that are ready for guests to take back to their villa and put straight on the barbeque. 

Open daily, our Deli team prepare a variety of dishes from Ottolenghi-style salads to homemade quiches, open sandwiches to charcuterie boards and delicious pizza and pasta, all alongside daily specials that take advantage of fresh, local produce. The Deli Manager will coordinate all aspects of The Deli operation.

A 2-minute drive from the club, The Deli & Kitchen not only welcomes our guests but is also open to walk-ins and visitors to the local port.

We are looking for someone to take the lead and manage all aspects of The Deli & Kitchen operation. This includes the overall running of the restaurant side of The Deli and ensuring it is always well stocked with fresh produce and looking its best. 

Working very closely with the Deli Head Chef, The Deli Manager will also ensure that all of our guests’ in-villa catering requirements are met and delivered to the high standards our guests expect. 

The Deli & Kitchen is still a relatively new addition to The Peligoni Club, with a great deal of potential and we are looking for someone who is highly-motivated with the passion and commitment to make it a real success.

This is a challenging role for someone who is self-motivated, has a passion for great service, is highly organised and able to manage their time and their team effectively. It is also an extremely rewarding role for those who thrive when given responsibility and gain satisfaction from a job well done. 

It’s not all work and no play – in your spare time, as well as being able to explore the island and experience the local food and culture, you will have access to the club’s watersports facilities, allowing you to hone your existing skills or learn new ones in sailing and windsurfing.
