We believe happy staff = happy customers = profit.
Established in 2009, we are renowned for our Brunch & Lunch offering in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. Using high quality ingredients, locally sourced where possible, we are constantly striving for perfection. We want to remain relevant and set market trends, whilst staying true to our own brand identity and local community.
We’re looking for a Head Chef who understands that a great kitchen runs on more than great food. This role is for someone who takes equal pride in serving incredible food, leading a busy service and keeping the operation clean and organised behind the scenes.
You’ll be responsible for managing the day-to-day running of the kitchen, maintaining high food standards, serving customers, supporting and developing the team, all the while ensuring consistency during service. Just as importantly, you’ll stay on top of the admin that keeps the business profitable and compliant — including ordering, stock control, rotas, HACCP, and health & safety.
Aim: To ensure your kitchen runs profitably, the quality of food is of a high standard, your staff and customers are happy and the kitchen fulfils all health and safety requirements.
