We are searching for our next Takeaway Kitchen Chef / Kitchen Worker

Oslo, Norway
Part-time or Full-time | Mainly evening shifts

Perfect for students or anyone looking for evening work
No extensive experience needed — just drive, reliability, and a love for food!

Bonus: If you have 2-3 years of kitchen experience and some background in managing people — but it’s not a must.

At Palett, we serve up fresh, healthy food with speed, structure, and good energy. Our takeaway kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine. Now we’re looking for someone to join the team: someone who loves working with food, thrives on routines, handles stress well, and wants to be part of something that’s growing.
Whether you’ve worked in kitchens before or not — or maybe you’ve cooked at home or worked a bit in a café — that’s great. But what matters most is your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn our way of doing things. We’ll provide training in our recipes and routines.

What we’re looking for is a hands-on team player who:

• Has a genuine passion for food, quality, and good vibes

• Thinks ahead, takes responsibility, and stays organized

• Is reliable, punctual, and can handle high-volume food prep

• Thrives under pressure and enjoys structure, systems, and working at tempo

• Has great work ethic and isn’t afraid of physical tasks

• Takes pride in a clean kitchen — including dishwashing and closing routines

• Has a positive, solution-oriented mindset and lifts the team around them

• Is comfortable with a flexible schedule (mostly evenings, possibly some daytime shifts)

• Has some experience leading or managing (a plus, but not required)

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare food to order with consistency and speed, making sure every order is fresh and delicious

• Support smooth daily operations in the takeaway kitchen and lead the team during your shift

• Follow hygiene, food safety, and documentation routines

• Keep ingredients fresh, rotated, and stations ready

• Handle dishwashing and end-of-day cleaning to our standards

• Contribute to team rhythm and help train others as needed

• Support the Head Chef in menu planning and kitchen improvement

• Take ownership of results (waste, quality, timing, and efficiency)

• Manage stock, refill stations, track inventory, and notify the team lead when something is running low

• Follow established routines for prepping, service, and closing

What we offer

• A tight-knit, high-energy team that has fun while getting things done

• A fast-growing company with a startup mentality and strong values

• A workplace that values structure, good systems, and better food

• Flexibility to fit around school or other commitments

• Real opportunities for growth and leadership for the right person

• The chance to be part of something that’s growing — and actually going somewhere
