• Innovation: Collaborate with management to develop seasonal promotions and special events (such as our "Super Monday" campaigns) to drive customer engagement.

Qualifications

• Proven professional experience as a Head Chef or Sous Chef, with specialized expertise in Yunnan cuisine.


• In-depth knowledge of Yunnanese ingredients (e.g., wild mushrooms, cured meats, fresh herbs) and regional cooking methods (steaming, stir-frying, cross-bridge techniques).


• Strong organizational skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.


• Ability to manage staff and work efficiently within a structured, performance-oriented business model.


• Excellent communication skills; ability to articulate dish concepts to service staff and customers.

Why Join Us

• Opportunity to work in a well-established, high-growth restaurant environment.


• Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.


• A collaborative team culture that values innovation and systematic operational excellence.
