Tonic are searching for an Executive Chef to lead the kitchens at a new restaurant and hotel located within The Cube in Birmingham city centre, backed by University College Birmingham. You will be responsible for all food in the building, covering the restaurant, conference and events, room service and breakfast. The menu is yours to write, and you will lead a large brigade across every one of those outlets. The hotel is looking for a mid-February start ahead of opening, so you will be in while the kitchen, the team and the systems are being put in place. You will own the numbers behind it, with GP, food cost and labour accountable to you, and the UCB backing means the investment in your kitchen and your team is there to support that.
What are we looking for from Executive Chef candidates?
Experience as an Executive Chef, or a Head Chef who has run multiple outlets within a hotel
A hotel background covering à la carte, conference and banqueting, room service and breakfast
Experience leading a large brigade with senior chefs reporting into you, while remaining hands-on during service
Strong menu development skills, writing and costing menus across different service styles
Financially literate, comfortable owning GP, food cost and labour across multiple outlets
Pre-opening or kitchen set-up experience is highly desirable
Uncompromising on food safety, allergen management and H&S compliance
