Cook Wanted – The Berry General Store

At The Berry General Store, we’re more than just your local café. We’re a buzzing community hub serving up White Horse Coffee, stacked sambos, all-day brekky, easy dinners, and a solid line-up of retail goods and local drinks. We keep it fun, fast-paced, and flavour-forward.

Overview

We’re looking for a Cook to join our kitchen crew. This isn’t your average back-of-house gig—you’ll be part of a small, tight team that cares about good food, fresh produce, and delivering consistent plates that keep people coming back.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Preparing and cooking dishes for breakfast, lunch, and occasional dinners.
• Staying organised and efficient during busy service periods.
• Helping with prep to keep the kitchen running smoothly.
• Maintaining high standards of food quality, presentation, and cleanliness.
• Working as part of a team where everyone pulls their weight.

• Previous cooking experience in a café or restaurant kitchen.
• A love of simple, tasty food done well.
• Ability to stay calm under pressure and keep service flowing.
• Flexibility with shifts, including weekends.
• Reliability, good communication, and a strong work ethic.

Why Join Us?

At The Berry General Store, we’re a small, passionate crew who value good food, good coffee, and good people. You’ll be part of a fun workplace where your skills matter, your input is valued, and no two days are the same.

If you’re ready to get stuck in and cook up a storm, we’d love to hear from you!
