placeWellington calendar_month08/05/2025

At Joe & Joy Eatery we have the best team ever! Happy, hard working, reliable people who all share the load. If this sounds like you - we'd love to add you to the team!

Short order cook, sandwich making & catering role

Your job description will include:

Making sandwiches, paninis, croissants, bagels, grilled cheese toasties for our cabinets
Cooking Burgers, Waffles, Eggs, Brunch meals etc off the menu.
Making filos, egg cups, soup, and salads for the cabinets
Weekly stock take and ordering, putting away orders
Food safety temp recording for pies, quiches baked goods
Making catering platters and managing online orders. We have a set range of platters and catering options which you can view on our website www.joeandjoy.co.nz
Cleaning of work area and equipment

You absolutely don’t need to be a chef for this role, but you'll need to have experience in a commercial cooking environment, a strong interest in cooking and the ability to work fast and multi-task. Fridays and Saturdays particularly we do a lot of meals, the rest of the week we sell more cabinet food, so the days will vary.

Ideally you'll also be happy to help out FOH when kitchen duties are light, we have a very multi skilled team here which really helps with covering leave and sharing the load together.

Our shifts consist of days only, no Sundays or Public Holidays, no nights. Shifts are rostered over our open days Mon - Sat with 7am - 3pm. Saturday will definitely be one of your days of work most weeks, but we have some flexibility around total contracted days and hours.

We are open to negotiation over how many days and hours your position will include.

Be warned though - our eatery and production kitchen are busy busy busy! This means this role is perfect for a person who loves to keep busy and be very productive. If you'd love a job where you stand around waiting for customers - this is not it!

You'll need to be someone who loves a cranking day, is able to multi-task well, move fast and not get stressed when the pressures on. Most important you'll need to love our customers as much as we do, which is a LOT.

We'd love to talk to you soon :)

Please don't apply if you are not able to be rostered within the days and hours of Mon - Sat 7am - 5pm, we do need to be able to cover all of our shifts and accommodate leave.

**Please note that you need to be based in NZ to apply for this job. No overseas applications please. We are not accredited employers.
