Job Description

You'll cook fast, clean food on the line at a casual dining restaurant in Kempton Park. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Kempton Park (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

The work, day to day

Cook for banquets and conference lunches of 100 to 400 guests.
Clean down your section, deep-clean the fryer and scrub the extractor filters.
Train the kitchen assistants on knife safety and prep standards.
Cook steaks, burgers and grills to the temperature on the docket.
Plate to the spec photo so every dish looks the same.
Run your station during service and call back every ticket from the pass.

What you need

1 to 3 years in a busy commercial kitchen
Good knife skills and you can prep at speed
Comfortable in heat, on your feet, for long split shifts
You take instruction from the head chef without drama

Helpful, not essential

Experience with combi ovens and batch cooking
Pastry or bakery training
Stock and ordering experience on a system such as Micros or Pilot

What you get

Live-in accommodation at lodge postings
Transport allowance for split and late shifts
On-the-job training with a path to chef de partie
Two staff meals per shift

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your SA ID or work permit plus photos of dishes you have plated (on your phone is fine).
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Kempton Park; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

How to stand out

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.
