Position: Commis Chef
Luxury Brand | Woodstock, Cape Town
We’re looking for a focused, hands-on Commis Chef to join our fast-moving production kitchen. This is not a fine-dining plating role. It’s precision, batch control, recipe accuracy and consistency at scale. Small details matter. Clean systems matter. Standards matter.
We produce premium, small-batch ice cream for retail stores and restaurant partners. The kitchen runs on structure, timing and teamwork. If you like being busy, working methodically and knowing your work directly impacts what lands in the scoop cabinet — this role will suit you.
The Role
You’ll support daily production across ice cream bases, inclusions and baked components. Expect measuring, prepping, cleaning, organising and repeating — properly. This is about consistency and pride in process.
You’ll work closely with the Head Chef and production team to keep quality high and output steady.

What We’re Looking For
-
1–2 years in a professional kitchen or production environment
-
Culinary qualification advantageous but not essential
-
Naturally detail-oriented
-
Reliable and physically able to handle a production environment
-
Comfortable with repetition and process
-
Positive attitude and team mindset
What You Can Expect
-
A high-standard, structured kitchen
-
Clear systems and expectations
-
Opportunity to grow as the brand expands

To be part of a team building something exciting in Cape Town
If you work clean, move with purpose and take pride in doing things properly — we’d like to meet you.
