Café/Catering Superstar

Full time (as rostered Monday to Sunday)

We have a great opportunity for a passionate, adaptable, and flexible catering superstar to support our growing number of cafés and kitchens in Palmerston North, which include a trendy public facing café, a private hospital food service, and industrial workplace cafeterias.

This is a full-time position working across multiple sites covering staff who are on leave and training days.

You will be involved in all aspects of the café and food service, and so previous customer service and cooking experience is required. Barista experience would be an advantage. If you can think on your feet, show great teamwork, and a flexible can-do attitude, then this opportunity could be for you.

In these positions you will:

- carry out food preparation, basic cooking, baking, and reheating
- serve beautifully crafted café style food and coffee to customers
- operate EFTPOS and POS machines with a smile
- move and manage stock, and help to keep the site running smoothly
- set up service trays, clean, and do dishes
- work both as part of a team or on sole charge evening or weekend shifts

Who you are:

- self-motivated with a strong customer focus and a passion for food
- friendly and engaging, hard-working and flexible
- have experience in food preparation, and knowledge of food safety and hygiene
- have experience in cafe and cafeteria style food service
- have cooking experience
