Cook

Own it While it’s Hot

Every job promises good culture and opportunity. But here, they’re real and yours for the taking.

We’ve been serving up golden-crumbed, pan-fried schnitzels since 2007, using a traditional Polish family recipe. Yup, we’ve sure grown in that time - from a small family business into a nationwide franchise! But the passion and care we put into crafting each schnitzel hasn’t changed, even if the wallpaper has. If good food, good people and good service matter to you, you owe it to yourself to give it a crack at our place.

Join us as a Cook and find a red-hot opportunity to challenge yourself!

Find a Story that Matters and a Career You Can Own

Serving schnitzel in our busy restaurants isn’t always an easy gig. But as a Cook, you’ll play a huge role in uplifting people’s days and you’ll get to have a lot of fun doing it! Because at Schnitz, you’ll work alongside a team jam-packed with people who genuinely care. A team that’s got your back and loves the buzz just as much as you do.

Key Ingredients

You don’t need a heap of skills or experience when you join our team. What you do need is attitude. You’ve gotta be willing to learn, to back our product and most importantly, to treat everyone with respect.

To go places at Schnitz, it’ll also help if you’re someone who:

• Loves food and can offer exceptional customer service (even when they’re behaving like Schnit-heads!)
• Is excited to learn how to cook the perfect, crispy, golden-crumbed schnitzel, just like our founder Roman Dyduk
• Is keen to develop your kitchen skills and food safety knowledge
• Is happy to get stuck in, hustle and help out your team (it gets busyyy at certain times)
• Is flexible with availability

Looking for a Career that Will Pan Out?

At Schnitz, we know the best things in life come wrapped up in a golden, crispy crumb. But on top of the seriously good food, there’s lots more to love about a career with Schnitz. Our people say three things really stand out:

• Real mates who have your back: Work with people who get it and who get you. It’s not just work, and it’s not just “co-workers”.
• Real skills that set you up: Whether you’re with us for a short time or to build an incredible career, you’ll get a kick-ass resume and the experience to back it up.
• Real wins, hustle & bloody good chips: We work, we care and that’s how we win. We’re not just some fast food place and you’re not just some fast food worker. Everything you do here counts.

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from Mylee, who joined us as a Team Member back in 2013. Heads up, she now owns and runs her own Schnitz restaurant!

“I absolutely love the hospitality industry. I’ve worked in a few places over the years, but when you actually get to make and deliver such a great product, like at Schnitz, it makes a big difference.”

PS: Schnitzers also get speedy access to the crispiest schnitzels and most mouth-watering menu items!

Schnitz is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace environment. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds - not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it makes our organisation stronger. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other people of colour, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ people and those with a disability.
