Frequently asked questions

Question category
How are hygiene training and health certificates checked?

Businesses handling food require a health certificate (medical examination result). If you list it as a requirement in the posting, a counselor will check it before the introduction.

Can someone come every day on a fixed schedule?

Catering businesses often have regular and long-term work. Tell us the days and hours and we'll introduce someone who fits that schedule.

What happens during school vacations?

School catering may have reduced or no work during vacations. Let us know the period in advance and we'll introduce accordingly.

Do I need a health certificate?

Businesses handling food often require a health certificate (medical examination result). Check the "what to bring" section of the posting and ask in consultation.

Can I work mornings only?

Businesses focused on lunch service often have morning-to-early-afternoon work. Write your preferred hours in your inquiry.

Is it OK if I have no experience?

Serving, washing and ingredient handling have many postings where experience is not required (newcomers and experienced workers both welcome). Group cooking experience helps for cooking assistants.
