Maintain strong food safety and hygiene standards without exception. Be adaptable and solution‑focused in fast‑paced and changing environments. Contribute to a positive, driven, and professional kitchen culture.
• Working Environment: Due to the nature of the business, you should expect long and sometimes unpredictable shifts, increased demand during peak seasons and summer periods, and a varied working environment including kitchens, outdoor setups, and event sites. This role requires resilience, flexibility, and a strong work ethic.
