Panzerottaro / Kok – Panzerò | Italy at First Bite
Rotterdam | Full-time or Part-time | Evenings & Weekends
Ready to master one of Italy's most iconic street foods?
Panzerò is looking for a Panzerottaro/Kok to join our kitchen team. You will rotate across three stations: the panzerotti station (our signature fried product), the gastronomique station (appetizers, mains, desserts, and pucce), and kitchen preparation. Every station matters. Every dish carries the Panzerò name.
You do not need to have made a panzerotto before — we will teach you. What we need is precision, speed, and a genuine love for food. If you have experience as a pizzaiolo, you already have a head start: the dough work, shaping, and timing translate directly. The main difference is that our product is fried and closed like a calzone.
What you will do
- Panzerotti station: shape, fill, seal, and fry panzerotti to exact Panzerò standards — consistent every single time.
- Gastronomique station: prepare and plate appetizers, mains, desserts, and pucce to recipe and presentation standards.
- Kitchen prep: mise-en-place, ingredient preparation, and breakfast support.
- Maintain HACCP standards, FIFO policy, and station cleanliness throughout every shift.
- Monitor stock and communicate shortages to the Kitchen Supervisor.
What we offer
- Salary above minimum wage, based on experience.
- Tips (amount varies based on location performance).
- Pension scheme in accordance with Dutch law.
- 8% holiday allowance paid monthly.
- 20 vacation days per year (fixed contract).
- 15% staff discount off-duty; 25% on-duty.
- Overtime taken as days off or paid out.
- Full training on Panzerò's recipes and kitchen techniques.
- Real growth opportunities — we promote from within.
- A warm, international team and company social events every 6 months.
What we are looking for
- Previous kitchen experience is preferred but not required — passion and precision matter most.
- Pizzaiolo experience is a significant plus.
- Fast, consistent, and detail-oriented.
- Team player with a positive attitude and willingness to learn.
- English required (B1 minimum). Dutch is a plus.
