The role of Sous Chef is to support the Head Chef in managing the set up of a busy new kitchen in a 110 cover new restaurant concept. The food style is very high quality freshly prepared small plates with a Mexican inspiration. Food is served family style, and is cooked/served fresh to order with plates going to tables as they are ready with a quick turnaround, based on daily preparation in advance. You must be able to manage the team in a new restaurant setting and concept, and ensure that the highest standards are met for food preparation and service, including running a tight kitchen with all the latest technologies to aid efficiency. The launch menus and recipes are ready, so initially the role will be helping to bring together the kitchen team and ensuring efficiency and good team working. Experience of similar service or Mexican cuisine and Tevalis stock management would be advantageous but not essential.
