Leicester, United Kingdom Bunk Full time

Bunk is a Cocktails and wings bar which offers fast bar food as a full meal or comes alongside bar snacks. The kitchen staff will be expected to learn how to assist or manage the kitchen to ensure it is clean and operational at all times.

**Kitchen Staff Duties and Responsibilities**
- Ensuring the food preparation areas are clean and hygienic
- Positive attitude and excellent communication skills
- Washing utensils and dishes and making sure they are stored appropriately
- Sorting, storing and distributing ingredients
- Washing, peeling, chopping, cutting and cooking foodstuffs and helping to prepare salads and desserts
- Disposing of rubbish
- Cleaning the food preparation equipment, floors and other kitchen tools or areas

**Basic Food Prep**

The kitchen staff arrives early to organise the kitchen and do food prep to streamline cooking and meal presentation, including washing, peeling, and cutting vegetables and mixing ingredients for dishes.

**Meal Presentation**

The kitchen staff organises customers’ baskets before the waitstaff or sometimes even the kitchen staff are expected to bring the final product to the customer. They have a working knowledge of the day’s meals and menus and understand each dish or side we serve.

**Stock Kitchen and Storeroom**

The kitchen staff works with management and head cooks to receive, stack, and properly store food in kitchens, cold storage and storerooms. They transfer food and supplies to the kitchen as needed, and understand the importance of stock rotation and shelf life.

**Cleaning Duties**

The kitchen staff is responsible for ensuring all areas of the kitchen, food prep, and food storage areas are clean and properly sanitised. This includes washing dishes and cooking equipment, cleaning floors, sanitising countertops and cutting boards, and maintaining all areas to health code standards.

**Kitchen Setup and Breakdown**

If they are the first to arrive, the kitchen staff turns on the lights and fryers, starts kitchen prep work and prepares the kitchen and customer areas for service. When they’re the last to leave, the kitchen staff puts food and dishes away, cleans and mops the floors, and turns off all fryers, extractor fans and other cooking equipment.

**Kitchen Staff Skills and Qualifications**

Quick and efficient workers with experience in food preparation or cooking, no formal education or training is usually required to be kitchen staff, though the following skills are usually preferred:

- **Dependability**- a food service employer is only as successful as the cooks and kitchen staff it employs; the kitchen staff is expected to be reliable, on time for work, and consistent with the work they do. Staff should be able to work evening shifts and generally weekends
- **Physical stamina**- the kitchen staff work on their feet for the duration of their shifts, around scheduled breaks, in kitchens that may be uncomfortably warm; often they hand wash dishes in hot water, work at an efficient rate for a duration of time and carry up to 50 pounds for short distances
- **Customer service**- working in all areas of the kitchen and often the food delivery space, including bars, seating areas, buffet tables, and dining rooms, the kitchen staff inevitably interact with customers, willingly listening to and assisting customers with their requests, even when they fall outside the kitchen staff’s normal duties
- **Facility with kitchen equipment**- the kitchen staff work with sharp and potentially dangerous equipment daily—whether the knives, Bain-Marie, or high-temperature fryers, they work safely and effectively with all kitchen equipment
- **Team player -**the kitchen staff takes direction from the kitchen supervisors and facility managers and is willing to assist other team members to get their jobs done
