Personality behind every plate. Food first. Always. At Dine, food isn't an add-on. It's the centre of everything we do. Founded in the Northwest in 1997, Dine Contract Catering was built by chefs and food lovers who believed workplace dining could be something more. Today, that chef-led, food-first mindset still defines us. We're a business where chefs are empowered to create, bringing together seasonal ingredients, local suppliers and bold ideas to deliver food experiences with real personality, purpose and pride. Every offer is tailored. Every menu has intent.
About the role
We're looking for a Chef Manager who can do more than cook. You will join our Dine team working in partnership with our client, Rehau.

You'll cook with passion, lead with purpose, and run the outlet like it's your own. Services include breakfast, lunch, vending and hospitality.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Oversee the full catering operation from food to finance to front of house.
- Lead, develop and motivate your team to deliver excellent service every day.
- Managing food costs, margins, waste and labour with commercial precision.
- Build strong relationships with our clients and guests.
- Understanding their needs, exceeding expectations and delivering service with an impact.
- Ensure compliance with food safety, health.
