  • Help with inventory control, stock rotation, ordering and supplier liaison.
  • Contribute ideas and creativity for menu updates, specials and seasonal changes.
  • Ensure timely, efficient service commensurate with our brand of elegant but casual dining.

Who are we looking for?

  • A dynamic chef with proven experience (preferably in a similar up-market casual dining restaurant).
  • Strong knowledge of food preparation, presentation, portion control and cost management.
  • Excellent organisational skills, the ability to handle pressure during service.
  • A passion for producing beautifully plated dishes, with attention to detail.
  • Good leadership qualities and ability to work collaboratively in a small team.
