- Support stock control, rotation and minimising waste
- Work collaboratively with front of house to ensure smooth, efficient service
- Contribute ideas for new specials and menu development, particularly around seasonal and locally sourced ingredients

- Strong understanding of fresh food preparation and quality control
- Confident working in a fast-paced service environment
