## 🔥 GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR: Entry-Level Griller at Pedros Workshop! 🔥



Looking for your first job? Tired of "5 years experience" requirements? This one is for **YOU**.

**Pedros Flame Grilled Chicken** is hiring a **Griller** for their busy Workshop branch in the heart of **Durban CBD**. If you are hardworking, reliable, and don't mind a bit of heat, this is the perfect way to start your career in the food and hospitality industry.

### 💰 The Package

 * **Salary:** Market Related (**R5,500 – R6,500 pm** starting for entry-level + tips + staff meals).

 * **Location:** The Workshop Shopping Centre, Durban CBD.

 * **Type:** Permanent.

 * **Closing Date:** **30 May 2026** (33 Days Left—but apply early!).

### 🔍 No Experience? No Problem!

This is a **True Entry-Level** role. Pedros will train you on their signature flame-grilling techniques, but you need to bring the right attitude.

**The Requirements:**

 * **Availability:** Must be able to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays (The Workshop is busy 7 days a week!).

 * **Food Safety:** Basic knowledge of hygiene (knowing how to keep a kitchen clean and safe).

 * **Physical Stamina:** You’ll be on your feet, working near hot grills for 8-hour shifts.

 * **Location:** Ideally, you should live in or near Durban CBD (Umlazi, Chatsworth, etc.) with reliable transport for late shifts.

### 🍗 What You’ll Actually Do

You aren't just cooking; you are the heart of the kitchen!

 * **The Grill Master:** Season and flame-grill chicken to perfection according to Pedros' famous recipes.

 * **Quality Control:** Check temperatures and timing to make sure every meal is juicy and safe.

 * **Kitchen Hero:** Prep ingredients, manage stock (FIFO), and keep your workstation sparkling clean.

 * **Team Player:** Help the team during the crazy lunch and dinner rushes.

### ⚠️ Reality Check (The "Jobbing101" Lowdown)

 * **It’s Hot & Fast:** You’ll be flipping 100+ chickens a shift next to a 300°C grill. It’s physical work!

 * **Durban CBD Safety:** Shifts can end at 22:00. Make sure you have safe, reliable transport home before committing.

 * **Weekend Warrior:** Retail and food means working when others are playing. If you need every Saturday off, this isn't for you.

 * **Growth Potential:** Stick it out! A reliable Griller can move up to **Shift Supervisor** in 12–18 months, which comes with a nice salary bump (R8k–R10k).

### 📩 How To Apply

Don't wait! Entry-level roles at big brands like Pedros get snatched up fast.

> **Pro Tip:** Even if you've never worked in a professional kitchen, mention if you help with catering at church, braai for your family, or have done any informal food prep. It shows you know your way around a fire!
