sous-chef

Caffe Fantastico · Victoria, BC · $25.00 hourly

Verdict

Caffe Fantastico is a well-established, legitimate Victoria-based employer with a reachable website, confirmed business match, and active careers section. The posting is detailed with specific NOC classification, comprehensive task lists, supervision scope, and screening questions typical of professional job postings. The in-person application address (965 Kings Road, Victoria) is a real business location. Minor concern: the salary of $25/hour for a sous-chef with 2–3 years' experience is slightly below market for the role, but not implausibly so for a café operation in 2026.
