Full job description

About Coco Tang

Coco Tang is a unique, independent multi-concept brand that has defined the Nottingham hospitality scene since 2008. Our flagship venue is a hybrid destination: an authentic Vietnamese Kitchen, Speciality Coffee Roastery, and Oriental Bakery by day, and a sophisticated speakeasy and nightclub by night. We are obsessed with detail, authenticity, and creating an escape from the city. Now, we are bringing this same level of passion and high-energy hospitality to Manchester for our first historic phase of expansion out of Nottingham.

The Manchester Site

Our brand-new Manchester venue has a very clear "upward" energy—starting with a casual, high-traffic Vietnamese Café on the ground floor and transitioning into a more premium casual Restaurant, Private Dining, and Late-Night Bar upstairs.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a hands-on Head Chef / Kitchen Manager to spearhead our back-of-house operations. Working alongside the General Manager and the brand owner, you will be the absolute anchor of the kitchen, tasked with building a massive BOH team from scratch for this landmark opening. You will manage a high-volume, multi-level food operation that demands both rapid daytime execution and premium evening dining consistency.

The Launch Chef: Oversee the middle and final stages of the kitchen setup, including heavy recruitment for a large brigade, equipment testing, and supplier integration.
Multi-Menu Mastery: Manage the culinary output for a multi-concept site, maintaining impeccable standards across our high-traffic ground-floor Vietnamese Café, premium upstairs restaurant, and private dining events.
Compliance & Safety: Maintain 100% compliance with food safety, HACCP, allergen management, and kitchen health & safety regulations, keeping the kitchen audit-ready at all times.
Culture Builder: Hire, train, and retain a disciplined kitchen team, instilling a culture of mutual respect, cleanliness, and an obsession with presentation.

The Ideal Candidate

Proven High-Volume Experience: At least 2–3 years as a Head Chef or strong Senior Sous Chef in a high-volume, fresh-food environment. Experience with Asian cuisines is highly advantageous.
Financial Literacy: Highly proficient in managing kitchen KPIs. You know how to control GP%, accurately track food costs, minimise wastage, and manage a rota to hit labor % targets.
Operational Grit: You lead from the pass, not from an office. You thrive under pressure during peak hours, setting a relentless pace for a large, newly formed kitchen team.
The "Detail" Architect: You possess an obsessive eye for consistency. You ensure that every bowl of pho, small plate, and main dish leaves the kitchen looking pristine and tasting authentic.
A "Calm in the Chaos" Mentor: You run a calm, organised, and professional kitchen. You earn the respect of your brigade by being the steadiest person in the room and a true mentor to your junior chefs.

What We Offer

Highly competitive base salary.
Share of the site service charge scheme.
28 days holiday per year.
Company pension scheme.
Free meals on shift and generous staff discounts.
The opportunity to shape a landmark Manchester launch with genuine career progression as the brand expands.

How to Apply

If you are a disciplined kitchen leader with an obsession for food detail and the grit to run a multi-concept powerhouse, we want to hear from you. Submit your CV and a brief cover letter outlining why you are the perfect fit to lead the kitchen at Coco Tang Manchester.

Pay: £36,000.00-£45,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Discounted or free food
Employee discount
