Job description

Yard Sale Pizza is on the search for a Second Pizza Chef to join our amazing team!

Offering new loyalty incentive - extra 75p per hour paid after 1 years continuous service

Who are we?

Yard Sale Pizza fired up the oven in 2014, starting with weekly supper clubs from our backyard in Hackney. We now offer delivery, dine-in and takeaway in 17 of our favourite neighbourhoods. Known for our collaborations, we've teamed up with illustrators, musicians, international chefs & local eateries- all on the quest for the perfect pie!
We've won London's most-loved restaurant in Time Outs 2016 Love London awards, were awarded Best Cheap Eats in the Observer Food Monthly Awards in 2017, and were voted London's favourite pizza in Time Outs inaugural Clash of the Slices in 2022.
We're a young and fast-growing company who offer plenty of career progression for hard working and talented individuals.

We welcomed our sixth shop and FIRST south of the river in October 2020, during a difficult time where many other hospitality businesses sadly had to close their doors...a huge hats off to our brilliant delivery business model that facilitated us to open this beauty! Our full team of in-house drivers worked like mad delivering our handmade pizzas to the lovely folk of Dulwich and surrounding areas, a brilliant start!

What will I be doing?

• Ensuring the kitchen service is running smoothly.
• Leading shifts and taking ownership in the absence of the Head Chef.
• Adhering to the highest standards, including cleanliness and organising deep cleans.
• Training the team alongside the Head Chef.
• Completing all prep as required and taking responsibility for your workstation.
• Work collaboratively in a team alongside the wider team.

What are we looking for?

• Someone with previous experience stretching, baking and making dough in a fast-paced environment.
• Someone with a good command of English.
• An excellent communicator who enjoys being part of a team!
• Someone who is willing to work weekends.

What's on offer:

• Working with a fantastic team in a fun environment
• A brilliant work/life balance so you won't be working super-late!
• There's loads of opportunities to progress to a Head Chef role as we have really ambitious expansion plans!
• A competitive hourly rate including bonuses.
• Full time hours - around 40 hours per week with all overtime paid for.
• Loyalty incentive - extra 75p per hour paid after 1 years continuous service
• Holiday paid in days off or in cash.
• Training & career progression - we have excellent learning and development opportunities!
• Free pizza on shift and brilliant discounts to enjoy with family and friends.
• Fun staff parties - we close the shops so we are all able to join together!
• Hospitality Actions Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offers free independent, expert, support and advice 24/7 to all YSP staff.

If this sounds good, then we can't wait to hear from you!

Pizza & Love,

YSP
