As an Assistant Head Chef, you have a vital leadership role in our open kitchen. Partnering with the Head Chef, you'll step up to lead shifts, run the pass, and inspire the team during high-volume rushes. We're looking for someone hands-on who can balance a buzzing restaurant floor with our fast-paced out-of-restaurant delivery channels. If you have the drive to step up, we'll give you the platform to grow. What you'll do:
- Lead the kitchen and run the pass in the Head Chef's absence, keeping service flawless, fast, and on point.
- Deliver exceptional food quality and picture-perfect consistency across dine-in and out-of-restaurant delivery orders.
- Support the management team by hitting kitchen performance metrics with stock, labour, managing prep, and cost control.
- Coach and develop junior chefs, sharing your skills to build confidence, talent, and team spirit.
- Act as a role model for safety, ensuring kitchen cleanliness, compliance, and food safety are always spot on.
What's in it for you:
- Career development opportunities to fast-track your career to Head Chef.
- Flexible hours and the guaranteed stability of a minimum-hour contract.
- Free meals when you're on shift, and 50% off when you aren't.
- Discounts on travel, cinema, and big brands
- Experience as a Sous Chef, Junior Sous, or Senior Chef in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.
- A love of Italian food, consistency, and high standards.
- A confident leader who can run a shift and motivate a team.
- The ability to stay calm, organised, and ready to guide the team during our busiest times, including evenings, weekends and holiday periods.
- A solid understanding of kitchen operations, including stock management, wastage, and labour control.
