How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Sandton; 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.

Expect a trade test: bring your own knives, arrive early and clean as you go the whole time.
