Job Overview
We are looking for a Kitchen Manager to join a company with two venues, known for their great culture, right in the heart of Akaroa. The venues consist of a gastropub and a beautiful bistro, each open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner with extended hours over the busy summer season. You will report directly to the owner and be responsible for the overall kitchen management of both sites. Key areas of focus will be system development, human resources, and profitability. While there is a lot of back-end management in this role, it is also expected that you will work in the kitchen with your team as and when required.
Responsibilities
* Overall kitchen management of both venues
* System development and implementation
* Human resource management
* Ensuring profitability and operational efficiency
* Working alongside the kitchen team as needed
Qualifications
To be successful in this role, you'll need to have proven experience working in high-volume venues in a senior role, ideally at Head Chef level. A numbers brain is essential, as is commercial acumen. Recent references will be able to back up your ability to remain calm under pressure and build solid working relationships. Here are some other skills and attributes that will be highly regarded:
* Formal cookery qualifications or relevant experience (5+ years)
* Strong interpersonal skills - being able to gel well with the team is vital
* Ability to work flexible rosters - weekends are essential
* High energy levels
Additional Information
No sponsorship is available (AEWV AND VOC); all candidates must reside in NZ and hold full unrestricted work rights. This role is in Akaroa, so you will need to relocate, ideally in the next few weeks. Accommodation options range but all include a private room; unfortunately, the accommodation is not suitable for families, but assistance can be provided to find permanent family housing.
Compensation
* PIP (Profit Incentive Program) - achievable targets
* Free personal training 6 days a week
* $80 - $85k with earning potential over $100k with PIP
