Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join our new opening and become part of one of the most successful restaurant groups in the UK.

You love real cooking. We love real cooking. Customers love real cooking. It's a no-brainer, so you might wonder why many other places don't do it. We do it, and you'll be doing it with us—using fresh, customer-led, high-quality ingredients. We also love our real people who run Lounges. The person who leads these brilliant teams needs to be super-brilliant, and that person is you. Your standards will match ours, but your approach will be uniquely yours.

You'll be doing it your way. You'll be part of a dedicated, supportive team, working from our flexible all-day menu to serve food that makes people's days. It will be your responsibility to prepare each dish to specification, maintain a clean and safe kitchen, and follow the guidance of your Head Chef to ensure all prep and par are completed for each shift. Your goal is to help every customer leave happy, which they tend to do thanks to your great food.

The Good Stuff

• Overtime pay for every hour worked over contracted hours!
• Staff food on every shift
• 50% off staff discount to enjoy outside working hours from day one
• 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays) pro-rata
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after 2 years of service
• The most talked-about staff party in hospitality - Loungefest!
• Competitions and incentives (like jetting off on an all-expenses-paid trip with one of our suppliers)
• Company pension scheme
• Long service awards
• Power over your pay with Wagestream
• Emotional and practical support via the Licensed Trade Charity
• Great opportunities for personal development and career progression in a fast-growing business
• Tips shared equally across the team, based on hours worked
• Christmas and Boxing Day off!

What you'll bring

• You are probably an existing Head Chef, Kitchen Manager, or Sous Chef seeking your first step into a Head Chef role.
• You will have experience working with fresh ingredients and demonstrate good chef/kitchen skills (food prep hot and cold, cleaning, knife skills, good hygiene practices).
• Your work ethic involves rolling up your sleeves, getting stuck in, and leading from the front; actively delivering excellent kitchen and food standards as part of a high-performing team.
• Familiarity with managing through clear KPIs and making decisions considering labour, stock, food safety requirements, and others.
• You will have worked in kitchen environments where reporting on various metrics, including GPs, labour/house, and food preparation, is required.
• You will have demonstrated success in training and recruiting kitchen teams, including Apprentices, KPs, Chefs, Junior Sous Chefs, and Sous Chefs.
