    BURGER CHEF – PINKY We’re looking for an experienced Burger Chef to join the opening team at Pinky, our new burger bar. This is a hands-on role for someone with strong experience cooking burgers in both restaurant and high-volume takeaway environments. You’ll understand that a great burger operation is all about consistency, speed and attention to detail — every burger leaving the kitchen should be exactly as it was designed. You’ll be expected to follow recipes, cooking methods, portioning and service protocols precisely, while keeping your section exceptionally clean, organised and ready for a busy service. Pinky has an open, counter-style setup, so this isn’t a kitchen where you disappear behind the scenes. You’ll be cooking directly opposite guests sitting at the counter. We want someone comfortable talking to people, with good conversational skills and a genuine sense of natural hospitality. What we’re looking for • Extensive burger/grill experience, • Experience in both restaurant and takeaway/delivery environments, • Excellent attention to detail and consistency, • Ability to follow exact recipes, specifications and service protocols, • Fast, clean and highly organised during busy services, • Strong understanding of food safety and kitchen standards, • A genuine team player with a positive attitude, • Confident and comfortable working in front of guests, • Good conversational and communication skills, • Someone who naturally enjoys hospitality and making people feel welcome We’re building Pinky around great burgers, great drinks, music and personality. We want chefs who understand that even in a fast, casual environment, the details matter and hospitality should never feel transactional. If you’re proud of what you cook, enjoy a fast-paced service and like being part of the atmosphere rather than hidden away from it, we’d like to hear from you.
