Butcher and Smallgoods Maker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years sharpening blends for crumbed cuts and smallgoods, and I’ve found that steady, consistent prep matters more than flash. In my current role I’ve helped reduce wastage with tighter bone removal and trimming, managing a daily throughput of around 150 kg of product. I know [Company Name] is looking for someone who can keep the shop floor moving while maintaining quality, and I reckon my hands‑on approach fits that. I bring solid experience with meat preparation, moulding seasonings and curing techniques, plus operating the sausage filler, smoker and mixing equipment. I’m comfortable reading a production plan, selecting the right cuts for a smallgoods run, and advising on costed menu items. I also handle customer questions about cuts, which helps keep the shop friendly and efficient. A recent shift saw me lead a small project to rework our crusted chicken and pork schnitzel prep, which cut crumbed product waste by about 20 percent and improved consistency at the slicer. I worked with the team to tune marinating times and seasoning blends, then trained two junior staff. The result was a smoother line with fewer reworks and steadier daily output. I’m available for a chat about how my experience can help [Company Name] meet its targets. I can come in for a walk‑through of the station and discuss timelines for any upcoming smallgoods projects. Kind regards, [Your Name]
