Assist in hot kitchen tasks: prep, cooking sauces/gravies, sides, basic savory dishes
Help maintain recipe consistency, quality, and presentation
Innovate or refine dessert menu items that align with our brand (creative & bold flavors)
Monitor ingredient stock & assist in inventory of baking supplies
Uphold high standards of cleanliness, food safety (especially halal compliance)
Occasionally assist in catering dessert setup and on-site service

Early shifts preferred for baking production
What You’ll Get:
A creative environment where your dessert ideas are welcomed

Staff meals, discounts, and a team that cares about quality
Be part of bridging savory excellence with dessert innovation
