What the work may be like
Fedics has been part of the South African food services landscape for over 50 years, and the Tsogo Sun Group backing provides the kind of institutional stability that is hard to find in contract catering. Working across corporate offices, mining sites, universities, and industrial sites creates genuine variety for cooks and catering supervisors who want to develop their skills across different service environments.
The in-house training and development is well-regarded, and the long-established relationships with major corporate clients provide consistent work volumes. For experienced kitchen and catering staff who want a stable, established employer with a reputable name and diverse site placements, Fedics is a trusted choice in the sector.
Hiring and application process
Candidates can apply for roles at Fedics by submitting applications via the South African jobs platform, including a CV and proof of Matric. The screening process involves an initial qualification review, followed by interviews and practical kitchen assessments to evaluate catering skills for on-site canteen operations at mines, universities or industrial sites.
Shortlisted candidates undergo background checks and verification of any food hygiene certificates, with the full process from application to offer typically taking three to six weeks. Applicants should emphasise prior kitchen or institutional catering experience and obtain a food hygiene certificate to improve their chances.

- 50+ years in SA food services — institutional stability backed by the Tsogo Sun Group
