Job description

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

**Offering new loyalty incentive - extra 50p 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 15 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 Out’s 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 Out’s 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.

Our 5th store – within touching distance of Shoreditch. As well as our usual casual dine-in and takeaway vibes, we will be serving the local area with our dedicated delivery service, and another exclusive for this site sees us opening a basement bar for a more secluded dining experience, perfect for a date or to rent our the whole area for parties!

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 50p 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 Action’s 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!
