• Ensure an excellent guest experience by maintaining high standards in dish preparation and equipping your team with necessary skills and mindset.
• Maintain spotless food, health, and safety standards; understand financial aspects like gross profit, stock control, and labor costs, and proactively spot opportunities.
• Build a coaching culture within your team, working with your head chef on recruitment and ongoing development, fostering personal and professional growth.
• Be a forward-thinking problem solver, able to make quick decisions on your feet.

What we look for |

• Experience leading a kitchen team as a head chef or senior sous chef, driving performance in a fast-paced environment.

• A proactive problem solver, quick thinker, and decisive decision-maker.

What’s in it for you |

• Bonus scheme — up to £3,000 annually.
• Access up to 30% of earnings before payday with Wagestream.
• Share of tips (tips go entirely to the team, vary by restaurant, and are guest discretionary).
• Free food on shift from our menu, with 50% off outside of work to treat friends and family.
• Industry-leading family-friendly policy: 26 weeks full pay + 13 weeks half pay for expectant or adopting individuals.
• First to try new menus, dry-cleaned chef whites provided every shift, and exclusive wagamama parties with VIP guests.
