Kitchen Staff Duties & Salary in New Zealand

A Kitchen Worker, also known as a kitchen assistant or kitchen hand, plays a crucial role in the smooth operation of a kitchen. In New Zealand, where the culinary scene thrives with diverse flavors and fresh ingredients, kitchen workers are in high demand. They are responsible for assisting chefs and other kitchen staff in food preparation and ensuring a clean and organized kitchen environment.

Exciting fact: New Zealand is renowned for its Maori culture, and some kitchens incorporate traditional Maori ingredients and cooking techniques into their menus, providing unique culinary experiences.

The main duties of a kitchen worker in New Zealand include washing and peeling vegetables, assisting with food plating, cleaning kitchen equipment and utensils, and maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards. They may also be involved in receiving and storing food supplies and monitoring inventory.

Key skills required for this role include good physical stamina, attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment. Experience in a kitchen or hospitality setting is beneficial but not always required, as on-the-job training is often provided.

In New Zealand, opportunities for kitchen workers can be found in various regions, including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown. Restaurants, cafes, hotels, and catering companies are common employers.

The expected salary range for a kitchen worker in New Zealand is typically between NZD 17,000 and NZD 40,000 per year, depending on experience, location, and the size of the establishment. The hourly rate can range from NZD 15 to NZD 20.

* Please note that the salary figures may vary based on experience & location. Salary figures & rate ranges last updated Nov 2023.
