Job Description

You'll cook fast, clean food on the line at a wood-fired pizzeria in Komani. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a wood-fired pizzeria in Komani. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Help cost recipes and track waste on the weekly sheet.
  • Bake breads, pastries or desserts for the morning buffet.
  • Plate to the spec photo so every dish looks the same.
  • Run your station during service and call back every ticket from the pass.
  • Log fridge and freezer temperatures twice a shift on the HACCP sheet.
  • Label, date and rotate stock using first-in, first-out.
  • Receive deliveries, check weights and reject short-dated produce.

You'll need

  • Weekend, holiday and evening work is part of the deal
  • You take instruction from the head chef without drama
  • Comfortable in heat, on your feet, for long split shifts
  • You know food safety basics under R638 and HACCP

On offer

  • Two staff meals per shift
  • Chef whites and safety shoes provided
  • On-the-job training with a path to chef de partie
  • Live-in accommodation at lodge postings
