Create a positive, high-performance kitchen culture.
Conduct regular training and performance reviews.
Lead by example during service and event operations.

Excellent knowledge of food allergens, food safety, and compliance.
Strong organisational and project management skills.
Experience opening kitchens or launching new food concepts.
