👨🍳 About the Role
We’re looking for a reliable Café Cook to join our Whangaparaoa team on a part-time basis (Sundays and Mondays only). This is a steady, hands-on role supporting a small kitchen focused on cabinet food, preparing standard menu items, and daily prep — no late nights, no big rushes, just solid café work with good people.
- Generous staff purchase scheme at select Columbus Cafés and Mitre 10 stores!
- Regular hours: Sundays and Mondays, 7/7:30 am – 14:30/3:00 pm
- Supportive environment and straightforward menu
- Ideal for someone local wanting stable, part-time café work
- Experience in a café or kitchen environment — baking and prep skills are a must
- Confidence to manage brand standard cooking and kitchen operations independently
- Good food safety awareness and attention to cleanliness
- A positive, reliable, and team-focused attitude
- Willingness to follow franchise recipes and menu standards (limited room for creative changes)
- Ideally, you’ll live locally or within a short drive of Whangaparaoa for reliability and flexibility
