Leading kitchen operations across multiple London sites
Mentoring and motivating chefs to deliver consistently top-tier food
Overseeing quality, systems, and back-of-house performance
Innovating on menu and delivery strategies (think: smokers running full throttle)
Supporting new kitchen launches and operational rollouts

What We're Looking For
Proven leadership in a fast-paced kitchen environment
Strong kitchen discipline and coaching ability
Passion for BBQ and smoked meats (this is a must!)
Solid food safety knowledge (Level 3 or higher preferred)
Bonus points for QSR/high-volume/delivery model experience

Why Apply?
Be part of an iconic, evolving brand with big growth plans
Shape the culinary direction and leave your mark
Competitive salary, performance-based bonus, and career progression
