FORMAL KITCHEN EMPLOYMENT · CARTAGENA
A contract from the first shift. No exceptions, no intermediaries.
In this sector it is common to engage people through service agreements, by the day, or through third parties. We hire directly, with full social security from the first shift. It is not a benefit we offer: it is the law, and a large part of the sector does not comply with it.
WHAT THE CONTRACT SAYS
The conditions, without small print.
Employment contract and social security
From the first shift. Health, pension and occupational risk cover, with no trial period disguised as a service agreement.
Paid training before operating
Food handling and service protocol, trained and certified before the first shift rather than on the job.
Full protective equipment
Uniform and personal protective equipment provided by the company, with replacement when needed.
Shifts communicated in advance
The shift pattern is shared ahead of time. Sunday, public holiday and night surcharges are paid as the 2026 law requires.
SINGLE MOTHERS
We prioritise those who find formal employment hardest to reach.
SAVIA's employability programme prioritises hiring single mothers in Cartagena. It is not a separate programme or a symbolic quota: it is how kitchen and service vacancies are filled.
Previous volume-operation experience is not required. Willingness to train is: the company pays for the training and it happens before the first shift.
We do not yet publish how many women we have hired, because the operation is starting and the figure would be a promise dressed as data. When it exists it will be here with its counting method, like every other figure we publish.
THE PROCESS
How to apply, and what happens next.
There is no job portal and no long form. Send your CV by WhatsApp or email — and if you do not have a written CV, send a message describing what you have done and where: that works.
Send your CV or a message
By WhatsApp or email, with your name, where you live and what experience you have, even if it is not in a kitchen.
We reply, vacancy or not
If there is no vacancy at that moment we say so, and you stay in the database. We do not leave applications unanswered.
Interview and practical test
A conversation and a kitchen test. The practical test is paid.
Training and hiring
Food-handling certification and service protocol, paid, before the first shift.
