Ajéburga is a burger bar
and café in Wuse II, Abuja.

Built as a third space as much as a restaurant. A place to work through a morning, linger over lunch, or end the day properly. Fine burgers, executed with intent. An open kitchen. A counter that faces the guest.

Chef de Cuisine
Full-Time · Permanent 2PM – 10PM · Evening Service Start July 2026 Applications close July 4th

The lead creative and operational position in a small, counter-format kitchen. You are in charge of evening service end-to-end — from prep standards to the last cover. This is not a back-of-house role. The kitchen is open, visible, and guest-facing at all times. You will cook. You will plate. You will teach.

  • Expert-level grill and flat-top execution — non-negotiable
  • Minimum 5 years kitchen experience, 2 in head chef capacity
  • Deep, genuine knowledge of Nigerian and West African ingredients
  • Comfortable being watched while you cook — by guests, every service
  • Strong baking foundation; ability to maintain standards at volume

Counter Cook
Full-Time · Permanent Morning or Evening Shift 2 openings · Start July 2026 Applications close July 4th

Counter Cooks are the execution backbone of service. You work directly at the cooking station — smashing, building, and finishing every order to specification in a fully open, guest-facing kitchen. Your technique, your precision, and your energy are part of what guests are paying for.

  • Minimum 2–3 years in a fast-paced restaurant or food service environment
  • Comfortable handling raw meat at volume, to hygiene standards
  • Takes genuine pride in repetition done precisely — consistency is the skill
  • Curious about food, ingredients, technique — asks questions

Barista · Beverage Artisan
Full-Time · Permanent Morning or Evening Shift 1 opening · Start July 2026 Applications close July 4th

This is not a standard barista role. Our drinks programme is built on house-made beverages and Nigerian ingredients — alongside a premium coffee offering. You are responsible for this programme during your shift. Warmth, confidence, and speed matter as much as technical skill behind the machine.

  • Minimum 2 years barista experience in café, restaurant, or specialty coffee
  • Espresso extraction, milk texturing, manual brew methods
  • Experience preparing non-coffee beverages and blended drinks
  • Genuine interest in flavour — not just coffee, but ingredients and combinations
  • Strong interpersonal skills — fully guest-facing for the entire shift

Guest Experience Host
Full-Time · Permanent Morning or Evening Shift 1 opening · Start July 2026 Applications close July 4th

First and last point of contact for every guest, from entry to exit. Responsible for front-of-house operations during service — greeting guests, walking them through the menu, taking orders, processing payment, and assisting with beverage handoffs.

  • Minimum 2 years customer-facing experience — hospitality, retail, or service
  • Genuinely warm, composed, and socially intelligent
  • Accurate with numbers; POS experience is an advantage
  • Articulate in English and any relevant local language
  • Sees hospitality as a real profession, not a placeholder
