Work with us

Come and cook

Nine people on a Friday and room for three more. Here is the pay, the roster and the bit about the heat that nobody else puts in the advert.

Open now

Three jobs

All three are full-time and all three start whenever the right person turns up.

Grill cook

Six shifts, Tuesday to Sunday, four until close. You will be on charcoal every one of them. Experience helps and is not required — Yaw has taught four people from nothing.

₵ 3,200/mo

Commis, soups and pots

Five shifts, two until close. The palm nut, the groundnut, the light soup and the pepper base. This is the job that teaches you the whole kitchen.

₵ 2,400/mo

Front of house

Five shifts, four until close, plus Sunday lunch every other week. You need to be able to describe six dishes without reading and to say no kindly on a full Friday.

₵ 2,600/mo

Straight

What it is actually like

The parts that other kitchens leave off the advert.

It is very hot

There is no gas and no induction, which means there is a charcoal grill running for seven hours. In March it is genuinely hard.

Two days off, together

Monday plus one other, and they are consecutive. Nobody here works a split week, which took three years to make work.

Service is split evenly

Kitchen included, same percentage for everybody, paid the same day. On a good month it is worth another third of the wage.

You eat before service

Properly, sitting down, off the same board, at four o'clock. Not the returns and not standing up.

Hiring

One conversation, one shift

Send a note saying which job and when you can start. There is no form, and a CV is welcome but has never once been the thing that decided it.

If it looks right you will come in on a Wednesday, work one paid shift alongside whoever you would be working with, and eat with the room at four. Both of us will know by the end of it.

The board changes on Tuesdays and the bar posts what it is pouring. Both go up on Instagram before they reach the room.
