Full job description

A very exciting opportunity has arisen for a reliable, trustworthy, and hard-working Head Chef / Manager to join our team at a well-established and highly respected takeaway, and soon to be restaurant, operating at the pinnacle of the takeaway food industry which has proudly served the community for over 35 years. Kitchen Wizard is no ordinary takeaway and never will be.

As the new owners, we are continuing the legacy of quality food, ingredients and excellent customer service as well as expanding what the business presently offers, building on an incredible foundation to offer an enhanced menu, extended opening hours, delivery service, restaurant and bar. The previous owner, who personally prepared all the food, has built a fantastic reputation and we’re looking for the right person to carry that forward, and co-ordinate and manage all kitchen operations.

Food Preparation & Quality

Prepare and cook pizzas, burgers and other menu items to a consistently high standard.
Ensure all food is prepared according to company recipes and specifications.
Maintain excellent presentation, portion control, and product quality.
Monitor food quality throughout service and address any issues immediately.

Kitchen Management

Organise and manage kitchen workflows to ensure efficient service.
Maintain high standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety at all times.
Ensure compliance with all relevant food hygiene and health & safety regulations.

Team Leadership

Lead, motivate, co-ordinate and support kitchen staff.
Train new employees on food preparation, cooking techniques, and company procedures.
Manage staff performance and promote a positive working environment.
Assist with staff scheduling and rota planning.

Stock Control & Ordering

Monitor stock levels and place orders with suppliers as required.
Minimise waste and control food costs.
Check deliveries and ensure products meet quality standards.
Maintain accurate stock records and conduct regular stock takes.

Customer Service

Work closely with front-of-house staff to ensure excellent customer service.
Respond professionally to customer feedback and resolve food-related issues.
Ensure orders are prepared accurately and delivered within target times.

Business Performance

Help achieve sales, profitability, and food cost targets.
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and kitchen performance.
Support the implementation of new menu items and promotions.

Reliability & Professionalism

Demonstrate exceptional reliability, honesty, and trustworthiness.
Lead by example through hard work, professionalism, and a positive attitude.
Ensure the kitchen operates smoothly during all shifts, including busy periods.

Essential Requirements

Previous experience as a Head Chef, Kitchen Manager, or Senior Chef.
Strong leadership and team management skills.
Excellent organisational and time-management abilities.
Knowledge of food safety, HACCP, and health & safety regulations.
Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
Reliable, trustworthy, and committed to maintaining high standards.

What We Offer:

Excellent rate of pay
A stable, long-term opportunity in a trusted local business
Friendly and supportive team environment
28 days holiday pro rata
Company pension

If you are passionate about cooking and want to be part of a business that values quality and reputation above profits we’d love to hear from you.

Pay: £45,000.00-£55,000.00 per year
