Come and Work
Six roles open right now, with the money written down. Service is hard here; everything around service is not.
A Hard Job,
Service is fast and the wok section is hot. What we can promise is that the rota goes up two weeks ahead, breaks are real, and nobody shouts.
Rota published a fortnight ahead and not changed without asking
Paid overtime, calculated to the quarter hour
Staff meal on every shift, cooked by whoever is on the pass
Tips pooled across the whole team, including the kitchen
Two days off together, not split across the week
We pay for the training if you want to learn a section
What We Are
Salaries are stated because you should not have to ask. All of them are before tips, which are pooled across everybody.
Wok chef
Full time
₵2,800 – ₵3,600 a month

Full time
₵2,200 – ₵2,900 a month

Part time, evenings
₵1,700 a month plus pooled tips
The phone, the book and the door. The first voice anyone hears, which is why it matters more than the title suggests.
Apply for thisKitchen porter
Full time
₵1,600 a month
The job the kitchen genuinely cannot run without. Several of our chefs started here and we promote from it first.
