For Pela Fahmel, hospitality is about more than service; it’s about truly seeing people.
“I notice that I always return to places where I feel welcome,” she says. “Whether that’s a restaurant or a store where someone genuinely takes the time for you. That attention and warmth are what I wanted to give to others as well — and what inspired me to work in hospitality.”
Pela joined Pink Rebel through a friend, and it quickly proved to be a perfect match.
“What surprised me most is the balance between independence and a strong sense of team. You work at different locations every time, with different people, yet it always feels connected. As a Rebel, you are the face of both Pink Rebel and the client — that makes every assignment meaningful.”
She describes the culture at Pink Rebel as open, professional, and personal.
“From day one, I felt at home. There’s great attention to detail, plenty of room to learn, and always someone who’s willing to think along with you. The training sessions, such as barista or champagne training, really help you grow. Pink Rebel focuses on quality over quantity — every assignment is organized with care and attention, and you can feel that in everything.”
By now, Pela has not only sharpened her hospitality skills, but also her self-confidence.
“At first, I found it exciting to start conversations spontaneously or answer the phone, but by doing it, you learn quickly. Every experience is valuable and helps you become more professional and flexible.”
What sets her apart during an assignment, in her own words?
“Genuine interest. I always try to understand what a guest or customer appreciates and respond to that. That’s what makes the difference between good and unforgettable hospitality.”
Would she recommend working at Pink Rebel?
“Absolutely — especially to people who have an eye for detail, love high-end hospitality, and enjoy personal growth. No two days are the same, and you’re constantly learning. For me, it’s the perfect mix of freedom, responsibility, and fun.”
