Brand New Concept
Food to Go - Cook
Location: Morrison Street, Edinburgh
Start Date: Late July 2025
Pay: 24,000 to 26,000 per year
Contract: Full Time
Overview
We're launching an exciting new store concept located at Morrison Street, Edinburgh - a fast-paced, food-first destination where flavour, freshness and rhythm drive the day.
From breakfast to dinner, the focus is on food that's ready to love, ready to go and ready to keep customers coming back for more, all without the late-night restaurant hours.
We're looking for a reliable and hands-on Cook to bring our menus to life, working closely
with the Chef and Store Manager to prepare fresh food daily and help build a strong back-of-
house routine.
This is a great opportunity for someone with energy, pride and attention to detail who wants to be part of a new food concept from the very beginning.
