Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Gqeberha really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: photos of dishes you have plated (on your phone is fine), a CV listing each kitchen, your station and dates plus certified copy of your SA ID or work permit.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Gqeberha.

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

Expect a trade test: bring your own knives, arrive early and clean as you go the whole time.
Do not leave gaps unexplained; if you did casual banquet work between jobs, say so on your CV.
