Kitchen and counter roles we hire for
We bring people in for practical roles that keep the operation moving from the first batch to the last collection slot. Depending on the season and trading needs, we may hire for kitchen prep, frying, packing, front counter service, collection handling, delivery support, hygiene, and catering coordination.
- Kitchen assistants who can prep, portion, and keep work areas tidy
- Frying staff who understand timing, oil care, and batch control
- Counter staff who handle walk in orders with speed and courtesy
- Packaging and dispatch staff for boxed meals and travel orders
- Catering and delivery support for trays, lunch packs, and group orders
What we look for in a good fit
We value people who show up on time, work cleanly, and can stay calm when the lunch queue gets long. A good fit for our team is someone who listens carefully, follows instructions, and handles food with care from the kitchen to the customer.
Useful experience counts, but we also look for people who can stay steady in a busy Soweto takeaway. If you have worked in takeaways, food prep, hospitality, or fast moving service before, that is useful. If not, we still want to hear from you if you are reliable, willing to learn, and comfortable working weekends or busy evenings. Clear communication and basic numeracy also help when dealing with portions, combo orders, and collections.
Working standards in our kitchen
Our customers expect food that is hot, neatly packed, and ready for the road, so our team works to a steady standard every day. That means keeping work surfaces clean, checking stock, watching holding times, and making sure orders leave in the right bag and at the right temperature.
- Clean hands, clean uniforms, and proper food handling
- Care with oil, heat, and sharp tools
- Respect for food safety, hygiene checks, and shift routines
- Ability to work in a hot kitchen and stay organised
- Attention to portion control and order accuracy
Hours, shifts, and the pace of the job
Our trading pattern suits people who can work across lunch, evening, and weekend peaks. Some roles are busiest when schools close, salaries clear, or family orders come in for Saturday and Sunday. Load-shedding and supply interruptions can happen in Soweto, so flexibility matters and staff must be ready to keep service moving with the tools and stock available.
We look for people who can manage pressure without losing quality. The pace is not for everyone, but if you enjoy a hands-on environment and like seeing a queue move smoothly, you may fit in well with our team.

Grow with a local team that serves the community
We work with schools, churches, families, funeral groups, and weekend collections, so staff members get experience across many kinds of orders. That gives people a chance to learn more than one part of the business, from prep and packing to customer care and event support.
If you want steady work with a team rooted in Orlando West, this is a place where reliability counts. We take pride in honest service, neat packing, and food that travels well across town, even when the day is busy and the weather is rough.
