What We're Looking For
- Previous experience working in a busy professional kitchen
- Confidence working on the line during high-volume services
- Strong understanding of food preparation and service standards
- Ability to move between prep and service without hesitation
- Consistent, reliable, and hardworking approach
- Strong team player who supports colleagues and senior chefs
- Pride in producing quality food regardless of how busy the kitchen becomes
- Good communication and organisational skills
