Chef and hospitality staff desperately needed
Hey neighbours
Do you know about the Village Club? It’s awesome. It’s somewhere you can sit and enjoy a quiet drink or a rousing game. You can win raffles or members draws, and enjoy a good meal. Or at least you could if there was a chef.
It’s a fantastic place and it, like many in hospitality, needs some help.
Are you, or do you know of, a chef looking for a place to cook. Maybe a caterer looking for a kitchen.
Are you a senior culinary student with experience in catering for events, looking for a place to ply your trade and earn some money?
Are you a waiter in waiting or a bar tender looking for a hospo job in a lovely, friendly environment? Do you have your LCQ, or are willing to get it?
Call Raquel at the Village Club on 06 877 8722 or email your particulars to office@villageclub.co.nz
She’s a great boss. I know it. I used to work for her. And it’s a great place. I worked there too.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
