  • Lead the small kitchen team in high-volume production of hot food items, ensuring efficient workflow and adherence to production schedules for product freshness and availability.
  • Maintain kitchen hygiene and organization, adhering to food safety and sanitation regulations, utilising operations software.

  • Maintain accurate stock records.
  • Strictly adhere to the purchase planning schedule.
  • Support junior staff members, fostering a positive team environment under the guidance of the Store Manager & Executive Chef.

  • Minimum 2 years' experience in a senior kitchen position, preferably within a fast casual environment.
  • Experience in high-volume hot food production and efficient kitchen operations.
  • Passion for cooking with high-quality ingredients and maintaining our menu to a high standard. Enthusiasm for rotisserie cooking is valued.
  • Commercial awareness, focused on minimising waste and maximising productivity.
  • Excellent organisational, communication, and time-management skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Ability to adhere to standard operating procedures and maintain consistency.
