Job description

At Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen, our mission has always been to reinvent fast-food. We’re Australia’s only fast-food restaurant to be 100% clean, meaning there are no added preservatives, artificial flavours, added colours or unacceptable additives in our food. We’re incredibly proud of our amazing people, and the unique way we celebrate Mexican culture in everything we do.

Growth: Comprehensive training pathways to help you move into Head Cook or Shift Leader roles.

Culture: Join a supportive, high-energy team with regular crew rewards and competitions.
