Job Details

Shopkeeper - Ionian Islands, Greece

The Peli Deli is the latest addition to the club’s extensive food offering, selling an array of local produce from charcuterie boards and freshly prepared salads to delicious homemade treats and three course meals that guests can finish cooking back to their villa.

Located just five minutes away from the club, the Deli is somewhere our guests, and passers-by, can stop for a quiet coffee or a quick lunch, and is also home to our villa host and shopping services.

SHOPPING

We are looking for two energetic and highly motivated individuals to take responsibility for the front of house side of the Deli operation. The role will involve engaging with guests, making shopping recommendations and ensuring the Deli always looks it best.

In addition to this, the Deli’s front of house team will also be responsible for our shopping service. Before guests arrive they are given the opportunity to pre-order items to be delivered to their villa on the day of their arrival. With assistance from the Deli’s Chef, this will involve ordering produce, ensuring there is additional stock to sell in the Deli and preparing and delivering shopping to villas.

A typical day as a Peligoni Shopkeeper may begin with an early start, bringing in and checking a delivery followed by picking, weighing and packaging items ready to provide a personalised shopping list to one of our stunning guest properties. In the afternoon you might be assisting the Villa Hosts in the Deli with visiting guests or driving to a villa to deliver a beautifully prepared hamper.
