Job Description

Service is busy at this conference centre kitchen in Lephalale, so steady hands and a tidy station matter here. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll be based at a conference centre kitchen in Lephalale. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Cook steaks, burgers and grills to the temperature on the docket.
  • Train the kitchen assistants on knife safety and prep standards.
  • Label, date and rotate stock using first-in, first-out.
  • Cook for banquets and conference lunches of 100 to 400 guests.
  • Log fridge and freezer temperatures twice a shift on the HACCP sheet.
  • Bake breads, pastries or desserts for the morning buffet.
  • Plate to the spec photo so every dish looks the same.

Must-haves

  • Good knife skills and you can prep at speed
  • You take instruction from the head chef without drama
  • 1 to 3 years in a busy commercial kitchen
  • Weekend, holiday and evening work is part of the deal

Extra points for

  • Halaal or kosher kitchen experience
  • Pastry or bakery training

What's in it for you

  • Transport allowance for split and late shifts
  • Chef whites and safety shoes provided
  • On-the-job training with a path to chef de partie
