Work-Force
Applications are warmly invited for a Sous Chef role based in Burgersfort. We welcome candidates from every background across Limpopo who are ready to grow with us.
The Role
This Sous Chef role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Burgersfort. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the hospitality jobs pipeline across Limpopo.
The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Sous Chef taking on this position.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Burgersfort teams, and the new Sous Chef will feel that from the first week.
Practically speaking, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Burgersfort also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Diversity and Inclusion
In addition, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Burgersfort.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Limpopo.

Where You’ll Work
Equally, the environment is service-led and people-centred. Expect varied hours, a high tempo during peaks, and a team culture built on hospitality and pride in the guest experience.
