Hospitality Intern, FLIK / Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP / New York, NY

Hospitality Internship

The FLIK Hospitality Internship Program is a paid program that gives hospitality students the opportunity to work in a dynamic and inspirational hospitality culture. Working closely with hospitality mentors, FLIK interns have an inside look at what goes on behind the scenes at a leading food service & hospitality organization. Fifty years ago, FLIK was launched by Chef Rudi Flik and Julie Flik. Their values of authenticity, people first, sustainability, wellness, and leadership still guide us. The FLIK service culture has our team members at its heart; we are in the business of creating emotion for our teams and guests alike.

FLIK Hospitality Interns will:

• Rotate through front-of-house roles in the café, catering, and coffee shop.
• Provide consistently friendly and courteous service to guests.

• Assist with marketing tasks, including signage, seasonal decorations, and food holiday communications.
• Adhere to "platinum service" customer service standards.
