Supermacs ice cream

If you’re not afraid of putting on a few pounds, and you feel like an ice cream expert, you’d better apply for this dream job! The job description sounds like something out of a dream: zero constraints, apart from the obligation to test and evaluate all the frozen desserts on offer.

According to Supermacs, here are the steps to complete the job:

You’ll need to visit Supermac’s restaurants and order, pay for and eat an ice cream.
You photograph the product served, paying attention to its presentation and the first impression it makes on you.
You’ll taste the 100% Irish Dairy cream, assess the crunchiness of the Cookies, the sweetness of the muffin and the sauce of the melted chocolate.
You’ll inspect the presentation and stacking of cookies and ice cream, check that the ice cream is centered on the tray, that it’s served at the right temperature…etc.
You’ll then fill in a questionnaire evaluating the product, paying particular attention to presentation, quality and freshness, and giving an overall score.

As for the profile we’re looking for, Supermacs would like to recruit a true lover of Irish products, and of cooking in general. They are looking for a candidate with over 10 years’ experience in ice cream tasting, with the ability to critique and evaluate.

In short: a job profile that could suit more than one of you! So if you’re a fan of fast food, and like ice cream, don’t hesitate to try your luck: the job pays pretty well, and should make for an incredible summer!
