Descrizione del lavoro

Our chefs grow through three levels, based on how many sections of the kitchen you can cover. You start at Level 1, develop at Level 2 and reach mastery at Level 3. Whatever your experience, we'll find the right level for you, and rates of pay are different depending on your level and experience. Level 1: start You're starting your kitchen career. You'll learn to prep and cook our dishes the right way, alongside experienced chefs who want to see you succeed. New to kitchens? You'll get full training and a team that has your back from day one. Level 2: develop You've got some kitchen experience and you're ready to build on it. You can cover several sections with confidence, cook every dish properly, and keep adding new sections as you grow. Level 3: mastery You're one of the most experienced cooks in the kitchen. You're proficient across every section, so you can step in wherever you're needed, keep things moving when it's busy and support your Sous Chef when needed. At Prezzo Italian, it all comes down to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Every guest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That starts with how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have fun together and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember and come back for. Food is one of our key pillars, so you'll have support from our central team of chefs and the right tools to get it right every time. Our dedicated chefs website shows exactly what every dish should look like and the right ingredients that go into it, and some of our restaurants use QSR kitchen technology to keep every order flowing. What you'll be responsible for Cooking the Italian classics properly

Responsibilities

• Prep fresh ingredients and cook every dish fresh, properly and to spec.
• Cover your sections confidently through prep and service, and learn new ones as you grow.
• Keep quality consistent, even on the busiest nights.

Being part of the team

• Help your teammates when it gets busy, and step in wherever the kitchen needs you.
• Work closely with front of house so every plate goes out right.

Keeping standards high

• Follow food safety, allergen and health and safety procedures every time.
• Keep your section clean, organised and well stocked.
• At Level 3, help with stock rotation, ordering and keeping waste down.

Are you a Prezzo person? You're warm, genuine and generous with your time. You love great food and you love people even more. You make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in, you lift the team around you, and you take pride in getting the little things right. You bring energy, a sense of fun, and the confidence to make the call.

• A love of food and a real desire to learn and grow.
• Energy, good organisation and a positive attitude, even on the busiest nights.
• A team player who's happy to muck in.
• Pride in getting the details right.
• For Level 2, kitchen experience and confidence on more than one section. For Level 3, proficiency across every section and good knowledge of food safety and allergens.

Experience is great, but it isn't essential to start at Level 1. Your attitude matters most, and we'll teach you the rest.
