The role of Head Chef is to manage the running of a busy new kitchen in a 110 cover restaurant concept. The food style is high quality, freshly prepared small plates with Mexican and Californian inspiration. Food is served family style, cooked and served fresh to order with a quick turnaround based on daily preparation in advance.
You must lead the team in a new restaurant setting and ensure the highest standards are met for food preparation and service, including running a tight kitchen with the latest technologies to aid efficiency. Development, training, and further improvement of systems and processes are essential parts of the role. A strong eye for reducing waste, maintaining GP, and efficient use of labor are crucial.
The role involves bringing together the kitchen team and ensuring efficiency and good teamwork. Limited menu development will also be part of the role.
Experience in similar service or Mexican/Californian coastal cuisine and Tevalis stock management is advantageous but not essential. Experience in running a sizable kitchen is essential, as this is a senior Head Chef role.
Progression opportunities exist as the business grows into an Executive Chef role.
