The Shift

Are you a Night Owl or someone who is looking for a shift that is after school hours? This shift runs Monday to Friday 5:30pm until 1:30pm.

When our dishes arrive with the packing team they have now been chilled and are ready for the finishing touches. The packing team are responsible for adding any final toppings to the dishes and for sealing, wrapping and packing the dishes ready to be sent out to the supermarket shelves.
