Pizza Cook job listing at Apple
- adziki 14y agoso they have to make the dough, prep the sauce and toppings, stretch the dough, cook the pizzas? Is this a team of one?
- powrtoch 14y agoIt's obviously a metaphor for the company itself.
- nicksergeant 14y agoYep. Pretty much any pizza-shop employee does those things. Obviously not all at the same time.
- stinkytaco 14y agoThere's got to be an app for this.
- tnash 14y agoWhoa.. a combination of my two favorite things, technology and pizza. I need this job. A nice high hydration dough with a 3 day cold ferment. San Marzano tomato sauce.
- bcn 14y agoYes, my favorite VPN had nothing to do with networks. You might find some of this interesting, if you haven't seen it already... http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm edit (in case you don't know): VPN -> pizzanapoletana.org/index_eng.php
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoYou deserve many more upvotes than I can give for that link! I just lost the last two hours at work reading and salivating.
- amykhar 14y agoI'm working for the wrong company.
- __mharrison__ 14y agoHaving eaten there a couple of times, the pizza at the apple cafeteria was good. We would always comment on how the pizza chef was about 5ft tall. Perfectly sized to look in the oven w/o leaning over. Form following function in one way or the other. The job post doesn't discriminate this way...
- ashishgandhi 14y ago> The cook will also prep and maintain all food items necessary to make a variety of pizzas (toppings, sauces and related prep). Maintainable food items. "Also, the cook should be able to test these modular food items to ensure they are bug free."
- j_baker 14y ago"A successful candidate will have 3 years experience using Test-Driven Cooking."
- Cloven 14y agofirst, poison all the employees and burn down the restaurant. Then, write recipes to ensure that this does not happen.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y ago"Employee performance will be judged by the number of Recipe Lines Of Code (RLOC)" "Candidate must be familiar with high-level Recipe Markup Languages such as XPL (Extensible Pizza Language) and JSRN (JavaScript Recipe Notation)"
- shaggyfrog 14y agoCandidate must be familiar with Agile cooking methodologies (the head chef is known for throwing things when angered). This job does not use RESTful cooking practices.
- chii 14y agoand debug the problem with the foods by examining many, many dumps.
- brianbreslin 14y agoanyone else notice the job was in sacramento not cupertino? what type of office do they have in sacramento?
- manuscreationis 14y agoI wonder if they'll have an employee spend months in a room designing the perfect pizza box opening experience... Clean, minimalist design Notches to facilitate stacking while preventing damage No cheese on the cover Pizza does not shift while in transit Easy to lift and re-close cover without damaging pizza crust Box stays warm but doesn't get too hot Channels delicious pizza smell directly outward toward consumer
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoHowever, it's only available in one size, and the other flavour - announced at launch - actually takes a year to become available. And you are required to have an Apple ID to open.
- Bud 14y agoActually, they will make pizzas to order for you. I take advantage of this option often. :)
- Tichy 14y agoAnd the black pizza costs 100$ more.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoAnd if you order online, you can get your name engraved into the pizza, free!
- loverobots 14y agoAnd if you get a food-borne disease from it....you were just holding it wrong.
- microtherion 14y agoApple actually DOES serve the pizzas on a recyclable plate reportedly designed by the industrial design team. A stack of them is visible on the left hand side of this picture: http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2011-09-27-OutsidePizzaBar.JPG http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2011-09-27-OutsidePizzaBar....
- Steko 14y agoI'm glad this an Apple listing and they're not farming this position out to a third party. Reminded a tad of the Zynga hubbub about the Google chef, one of their most valued early employees: http://blog.rongarret.info/2011/11/in-defense-of-google-chef.html http://blog.rongarret.info/2011/11/in-defense-of-google-chef...
- startupfounder 14y agoReminds me of when Exxon Mobile had a job posting for their Pizza Chef when they were the largest company in the world... wait, they definitely farmed out their pizza boy to a sub sub sub sub sub contractor. Good to see the largest corporation in the world still have at least a little heart :)
- sgt 14y agoI am just curious; what would most likely be the salary for this position?
- dogprez 14y agoYeah, seems like someone with 4 years experience with high demand brick oven/pizza tossing skills could make a killing on their own considering the mark-up on pizza.
- sgt 14y agoI am just curious; what would most likely be the salary for this position?
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- dsrguru 14y agoI wonder if by neapolitan style they mean what New Yorkers call neapolitan pizza (what other Americans call New York style) or literally pizza from Naples. I assume the former, but either way this is making me hungry. Apple should make this mandatory reading: http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm
- thekoug 14y agoWhy do you say that? Can you confirm what Jeff V is saying is not bullshit?
- poglet 14y agoI ended up at the Apple building in Sacramento after winning a holiday America. Pizza was good and the workplace seemed a pretty fun place.
- dakrisht 14y agoAmazing
- anusinha 14y agoYes, Apple employees eat food. Some of them might actually like pizza. To provide good pizza, you need to hire a pizza chef. Is this really something "that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity"?
- thekoug 14y agoThe funniest thing about this is that Apple, a company known for innovation, is just following the herd and assuming that you need a high-temp oven and to be able to stretch the dough "by-hand" to make a good pizza. OR They know it's BS but know marketing is just as important ;)
