About us

Lox in a Box is a Sydney deli group with cafes in Bondi, Coogee, Marrickville and Paddington. We make bagels, house-cured lox, schmears and everything that goes with them.

Hub is our central production kitchen located in Paddington. Everything the stores serve starts here: the lox, the schmears, the sauces, the prep. When Hub runs well, every store runs well.

We are a small, tight team where everyone gets involved in everything.

The role

You make sure the right product gets to the right store, safely, on time, every time. You will spend most of your day on the kitchen floor with the production team, with the rest on orders, records and suppliers.

Supply chain and dispatch

- Run the store order cycle: four stores order three times a week, and you turn those orders into what gets packed and sent

- Assist with ordering from suppliers, receive and check deliveries, and keeping stock rotated and counted

- Keep pars, stock levels and order sheets accurate in our inventory system

Food safety and compliance

- Own our HACCP food safety program day to day and keep it audit-ready

- Make sure temperature, curing, cleaning, traceability and dispatch logs are done properly and on time

- Manage batch coding, labelling, shelf life and allergen controls

- Run environmental swabbing and product testing with our external lab, and act on results





- Train the team in food safety and lead NSW Food Authority inspections and audits

Production

- Jump in on production alongside the Kitchen Floor Manager and the team assisting with the day to day running of the kitchen.

About you

- Experience in a production kitchen, food manufacturing, catering or commissary environment

- Solid working knowledge of HACCP and food safety; a HACCP Manager certificate is ideal

- Organised to the point of pride: you like a clean coolroom, a complete log and an order that arrives right

- Comfortable with spreadsheets and inventory or ordering systems

- Calm and clear with people, whether that is a store manager chasing stock or an auditor at the door

- Happy on your feet, in and out of coolrooms, and lifting stock

- Full Australian working rights

What we offer

- Weekday hours, with no nights or weekend service

- A staff meal every shift and 50% off across all our venues

- Real ownership: this is your system to run and improve, with direct access to the General Manager and owner

- A growing group, with current sites on the way and room for the role to grow with it

- A handover with the person currently in the role

How to apply

Tell us about a system you tidied up or a problem you fixed in a kitchen or warehouse; we would rather read that than a cover letter.
