Most importantly you will oversee service delivery and monitor food quality from the pass serving over 200 covers a night at this rooftop destination.

Experience of working with Spanish &/or Mexican Cuisine Have excellent people skills and prior experience of managing a large brigade of chefs across a busy, high volume restaurant service Have a solid understanding of menu engineering and the development of high-quality dishes inline with Decimo concepts and briefs [combined with a touch of creative 'blue sky' thinking].
