Job Description

You'll cook fast, clean food on the line at a casual dining restaurant in Bellville. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Bellville; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Prep veg, sauces, marinades and portions from the daily mise en place list.
  • Plate to the spec photo so every dish looks the same.
  • Receive deliveries, check weights and reject short-dated produce.
  • Bake breads, pastries or desserts for the morning buffet.
  • Cook steaks, burgers and grills to the temperature on the docket.

You'll need

  • Comfortable in heat, on your feet, for long split shifts
  • You take instruction from the head chef without drama
  • A culinary certificate or City & Guilds, or solid on-the-job experience
  • You know food safety basics under R638 and HACCP

Nice if you have

  • A food safety certificate from a registered training provider
  • Pastry or bakery training

On offer

  • Two staff meals per shift
  • Transport allowance for split and late shifts
  • Chef whites and safety shoes provided

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your SA ID or work permit, photos of dishes you have plated (on your phone is fine) plus a CV listing each kitchen, your station and dates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • List your stations (grill, pastry, cold, sauce) under each job; head chefs scan for this first.
  • Expect a trade test: bring your own knives, arrive early and clean as you go the whole time.
