- Ensuring consistent quality, correct portion sizes, and smooth service.
- Checking freshness, rotating stock properly, and keeping waste low.
- Managing stock levels, placing orders within company guidelines, and supporting stock takes.
- Maintaining a clean, safe kitchen and setting the standard in how you work.
- Following food safety and hygiene practices and ensuring the team does too.
- Bringing forward ideas to improve dishes, processes, and guest experience.
- Taking on additional tasks when needed.
We also support a range of events throughout the year, bringing plenty of variety.
