Job description

Prep Chef — The SpitJack Rotisserie Brasserie, Limerick

We're looking for a reliable, hard-working Prep Chef to join the kitchen team at The SpitJack Limerick.

This is a prep-focused role in a busy brasserie kitchen. The SpitJack is built around a live rotisserie concept using quality Irish produce, and prep is the foundation everything else is built on. You'll be working alongside a structured brigade in a kitchen that runs on proper systems and clear standards — not chaos.

What the role involves

You'll be responsible for daily prep across multiple sections — butchery, vegetable prep, stocks, sauces, and mise en place for both brunch and dinner service. The lists are detailed, the standards are consistent, and the expectation is that prep is done properly and on time. If you take pride in a clean bench and a full fridge, you'll fit in here.

What we offer

• Starting from €14.50 per hour, dependent on experience

• 29 days paid holiday including bank holidays

• Enhanced rates on Sundays and bank holidays

• Staff meal every shift

• 50% discount dining with friends or family at our Limerick and Cork restaurants

• Tips shared across the team

• Cloud-based HACCP and digital compliance — less paperwork, more cooking

• A clear path to progress if that's what you're looking for

What we're looking for

Previous kitchen experience is preferred but we'll consider someone with the right attitude who's willing to learn and work hard. HACCP knowledge is a plus. You'll need to be reliable, physically able to handle a busy prep shift, and have full permission to work in the EU.
