Job Description:
Are you known for your customer-focused approach and meticulous attention to detail? Resident X is actively searching for a self-assured and motivated individual to join our team as a Kitchen Staff Member.

This position is for the resident food outlet in Resident X which is currently an adaption of the Aberdam Dutch Fries franchise called Dam Burger, but will become something new in the coming weeks.
Our team is made up of 4 people including you and we have worked hard on developing our standards of service and food preparation. The team usually works one on at a time apart from the busier perdios where 2 people will work in tandem to ensure fast and high quality service.

- Personal presentation.
- Solid communication skills.
- Problem solver.
The interview process will involve a sit down conversation and then a practical test where you’ll be asked to create one of our iconic burgers! This is simply to prove you have the kitchen skills and hygiene knowledge stated on your application.
As the new offering may not involve proper cooking craft we are looking for candidates looking to make a career in Hospitality starting from the basics, but the drive to learn on the job. We are a motivated team so you will have good support to help you out.
