How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your SA ID or work permit, photos of dishes you have plated (on your phone is fine) plus your culinary qualification or trade test certificate.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Cape Town CBD; 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

Do not leave gaps unexplained; if you did casual banquet work between jobs, say so on your CV.
List your stations (grill, pastry, cold, sauce) under each job; head chefs scan for this first.
