Are you a team player with a passion for food and people? Do you know your meatball from your plant ball? If so, we are looking for you.

We need someone who loves working together, looks at things differently, wants to improve, is down to earth, leads by example, takes responsibility, inspires customers, and focuses on making them smile.

This role is fast‑paced and requires multitasking, producing and serving food, with regular heavy lifting.

Prior food experience is desirable but not essential if you have a roll‑up‑your‑sleeve mindset.

IKEA Food is a fast‑paced environment filled with opportunities to deliver a great value and quality food experience for many. You will produce, cook, and serve meals, manage station cleanliness, handle orders, assist colleagues, and follow safety and quality standards.

It takes diversity of thought, background, and culture to make great ideas a reality. We welcome candidates from all walks of life and are an equal opportunities employer.
