Orpington, United Kingdom The Chef Foundation Full time

Culinary Leader for Tapas Establishment

We are currently seeking a dedicated Culinary Leader for an independent Tapas establishment. Our menus highlight authentic Spanish tapas, with a focus on in-house preparation. The atmosphere is more akin to a kitchen and bar rather than a traditional dining venue, encouraging patrons to enjoy drinks and light bites rather than a full-course meal. Future plans include the introduction of a comprehensive takeaway service.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee all food production, manage inventory, and minimize waste
  • Develop menus, create daily specials, and ensure quality control
  • Adhere to all relevant regulations and legal requirements
  • Maintain food safety and hygiene standards
  • Manage kitchen budget and profit margins

We are looking for a passionate, hands-on culinary professional with extensive experience in Spanish tapas, capable of independently managing the kitchen with support during peak times. The ideal candidate will be friendly, approachable, and eager to commit to the establishment for the long term.

This role may be suitable for a skilled Sous Chef ready to advance to their first Head Chef position.

Work Schedule: Up to 50 hours per week over 5 days, Tuesday to Saturday

Compensation: £40,000 plus service charge

Additional Benefits: Profit-sharing option available for the right candidate
