Job Description

You'll cook fast, clean food on the line at a city hotel kitchen in Kuruman. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Location: Kuruman, Northern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Cook steaks, burgers and grills to the temperature on the docket.
  • Log fridge and freezer temperatures twice a shift on the HACCP sheet.
  • Plate to the spec photo so every dish looks the same.
  • Label, date and rotate stock using first-in, first-out.
  • Receive deliveries, check weights and reject short-dated produce.
  • Bake breads, pastries or desserts for the morning buffet.
  • Prep veg, sauces, marinades and portions from the daily mise en place list.

Must-haves

  • You know food safety basics under R638 and HACCP
  • 1 to 3 years in a busy commercial kitchen
  • Good knife skills and you can prep at speed
  • You take instruction from the head chef without drama
  • Weekend, holiday and evening work is part of the deal
  • A culinary certificate or City & Guilds, or solid on-the-job experience

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your culinary qualification or trade test certificate plus a CV listing each kitchen, your station and dates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.
