Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It

You’re the seasoned culinary professional ready to be a part of and help drive two exciting new projects opening in The Social Hub Barcelona. Grandmother is an all day cafe serving serving sandwiches, baked goods and delicious meals inspired by everyone’s favourite Grandmother. The Clubhouse is the all-day heart of The Social Hub. A busy, social kitchen serving modern club classics from breakfast through to late night, built around quality produce, familiar dishes done properly, and a fast, friendly service culture. It’s a place where chefs cook food people genuinely want to eat, every day.
You’ll oversee kitchen operations across multiple outlets and event spaces, ensuring every dish meets the highest quality standards and every service runs smoothly. Innovation is your middle name: you bring fresh ideas, seasonal inspiration, and a touch of daring to every plate while keeping operations efficient and commercially strong.
You lead from the front, coaching your team to grow, collaborate, and perform at their best. Reporting to the Executive Chef and working closely with the Director of F&B and Regional Head Chef, you play a key role in maintaining quality, driving culinary innovation, and achieving operational and financial targets. Your mission is simple: create a kitchen that guests love, and teams are proud to be part of.
