PRODUCTION KITCHEN MANAGER (CPU Manager)

Location: Uxbridge HQ

Reports To: Head of Food

Model: Full-time, hands-on, production-led role

Salary: £45,000 + bonus

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Production Kitchen Manager ensures Dish’d’s manufacturing kitchen executes

every product consistently, safely and to spec.

This role sits directly under the Head of Food and turns development outputs into

production reality - recipe cards, batch sheets, videos, pilot runs and full-scale

launches.

This is a hands on role, 80:20, hands on: management

You will manage the day-to-day running of our central production unit (CPU),

oversee kitchen staff, implement new products, and maintain rigorous standards

across quality, food safety, cost control, and operational efficiency. This is a practical,

structured role designed for someone who thrives on organisation, process and

consistency.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. CPU Operations Management

 Lead day-to-day operations of the production kitchen, ensuring safe, efficient

and consistent output.

 Manage production schedules, staffing, batching, yields and throughput.

 Ensure adherence to recipes, SOPs, allergens, HACCP and compliance

standards.

 Implement and maintain inventory controls, stock rotation and raw material

checks.

 Troubleshoot operational issues and escalate risks early.

2. Turning Development Into Production

 Convert new product development outputs into full production documentation:

 Recipe cards

 Batch sheets

 Costed ingredient lists

 How-to videos

 Step-by-step process guides

 Run pilot batches for all new items and provide structured feedback to the

Head of Food.

 Flag scaling issues early and recommend adjustments for efficiency and

consistency.

3. Recipe Accuracy, Documentation & Training

 Maintain a master database of all CPU recipes, specs, allergens and yields.

 Ensure all documentation is exact, version-controlled and communicated to

Operations, Onboarding and partner sites.

 Train CPU team members on new products, changes to processes and quality

expectations.

 Record training videos and visual SOPs for rollout.

4. Quality, Standards & Compliance

 Conduct daily quality checks and enforce strict compliance with CCPs, food

safety and hygiene.

 Monitor yields, waste, and batch consistency — escalating variances.

 Work with the Head of Food to introduce structure, repeatability and

improvements.

 Maintain kitchen audits, cleaning rotas, equipment logs and compliance

paperwork.

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration

 Work closely with:

 Head of Food – to ensure products are commercially viable and

scalable.

 Procurement – for ingredient quality, ordering accuracy and supplier

issues.

 Data Team – to provide production insights (waste, yields, batch

errors).

 Support with product launches through production readiness, pilots and

operator documentation.

6. Continuous Improvement & Cost Efficiency

 Identify opportunities to centralise more components to improve consistency

and reduce operator effort.

 Recommend equipment, process flow or layout improvements.

 Drive cost reduction through standardisation, portioning accuracy and waste

reduction.

 Support implementation of new systems to streamline production planning

and reporting.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

 2–4 years’ experience in a production kitchen, CPU, food manufacturing or

batch-cooking environment.

 Strong understanding of food safety, HACCP, allergens and compliance.

SALSA certification a bonus.

 Ability to translate recipes into production-ready formats at scale.

 Highly organised and methodical with exceptional attention to detail.

 Comfortable creating visual training materials and recipe/process videos.

 Experience training kitchen teams and enforcing standards.

 Good communication skills across cross-functional teams.

 Problem-solver with a continuous improvement mindset.

 Ability to work at pace and manage multiple concurrent products.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (6–12 MONTHS)

First 90 Days

 Full audit of current CPU processes, recipes, stock, equipment and

documentation.

 All recipes brought up to a consistent standard and logged properly.

 First round of recipe cards and training videos completed.

 Strong working rhythm established with Head of Food, Operations and

Procurement.

Six Months

 All new products launched smoothly with accurate documentation and clear

training.

 CPU producing higher consistency with improved yields and reduced waste.

 Production kitchen operating predictably with strong compliance, quality and

efficiency.

 Improved batching efficiency, reduced labour friction and better cost control.

Pay: £45,000.00 per year
