Job Title: Kitchen Team Member (28-34 Hours)
Location: Edinburgh
About Us:
We’re a friendly, fast-paced breakfast bao and coffee shop based in Edinburgh. We’re all about great food, excellent coffee, and a welcoming vibe. As our shop continues to grow, we’re looking for a reliable and experienced kitchen team member to join our back-of-house crew and help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
The Role:
This position is focused on supporting and leading back-of-house service during our busy breakfast and lunch hours. We’re looking for someone with solid kitchen experience—someone who takes pride in maintaining high standards, moves efficiently under pressure, and doesn’t mind an early start. You’ll be responsible for prep, cooking, maintaining food safety standards, and working closely with the front-of-house team to keep service flowing.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Food Prep & Cooking: Preparing our bao fillings and sides to a high standard, following recipes and portion control guidelines.
- Maintaining Standards: Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and up to health and safety regulations.
- Service Support: Coordinating with the front-of-house team to ensure fast, smooth service during busy periods.
- Stock & Waste Management: Keeping track of stock levels, minimising waste, and helping with daily checks.
- Staying Proactive: Using quieter periods for prep, cleaning, and planning ahead for the next rush.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience: although non is required, preferably 6 months of kitchen experience in a fast-paced environment (ideally breakfast or short-order service).
- Work Ethic: You’re clean, organised, and work with a sense of urgency. You take initiative and don’t need to be micromanaged.
- Team Player: Good communication and the ability to work well with a small, close-knit team.
- Punctual & Reliable: Comfortable with early starts and flexible across weekdays and weekends.
Working Hours:
- Shift Times: 6:30 am to 2:30 pm.
- Contract: 28-34 hours per week.
- Service Hours: 7:00 am to 2:00 pm.
What We Offer:
- Fair Pay: Competitive hourly rate.
- Training: Clear training for all areas of the kitchen and how we run service.
- Solid Team Culture: A tight team that looks after each other and takes pride in what we do.
How to Apply:
If this sounds like your kind of place, send over your CV along with a short note about your kitchen experience and why you'd be a good fit. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
