About Rebel Tiger
Rebel Tiger is a modern Indian street food brand, bringing bold Indian flavours together with healthier ingredients and contemporary cooking techniques. Operating from our professional delivery kitchen in Fulham, we're focused on delivering restaurant-quality food through Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
We're at the beginning of an exciting growth journey, and we're looking for talented people who want to help build something special from the ground up.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced Lead Cook who takes pride in consistency, speed and attention to detail.
Working closely with our Head Chef, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen, ensuring every dish is prepared exactly to specification and every order leaves the kitchen on time.
You'll also help us refine recipes, improve kitchen systems and support the development of new team members as Rebel Tiger grows.
What You'll Do
- Prepare and cook food to our standardised recipes with exceptional consistency.
- Help refine recipes and kitchen procedures to improve quality and efficiency.
- Run prep, cooking and packing operations during service.
- Ensure every dish meets Rebel Tiger's standards for quality, presentation and portion control.
- Work efficiently across multiple delivery platforms including Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
- Monitor food costs, portion control and minimise waste.
- Maintain excellent food hygiene and HACCP standards at all times.
- Support the Head Chef with kitchen organisation, production planning and daily operations.
- Train and support new team members as the business grows.
- Stay calm, organised and focused during busy services.
