• Support stock control by sticking to portion guidelines and helping reduce waste. You’ll also make sure all kitchen paperwork—like temperature checks and cleaning records—are completed accurately and on time, so every dish is served with pride and confidence.
• Continuously challenge yourself to improve, accept feedback, and show resilience in a fast‑paced kitchen.
• Work with your teammates, support one another, and celebrate team achievements.
