What’s the job?

- It’s super varied: cooking, food prep, knowing health and safety inside out, ensuring all food goes out 100% and the way we present ourselves is perfect; we take pride in sending out great quality Mac from a great looking truck; it’s what our reputation is built upon and is the focus of this role
