Job description

At Little Farms, we’re here to help people live happier, healthier lives—with food that’s all-natural, healthy, and ridiculously delicious. We’re looking for a Head Chef who can run a tight ship without compromising the vibe: standards are sky-high, service is smooth, the team is thriving, and customers areobsessed.

If you love leading from the front, chasing consistency like it’s a sport, and turning “good” into “damn, that’s good”… keep reading.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it)

Make the kitchen:

• Fast ✅

• Clean ✅

• Calm ✅

• Consistent ✅

• Fun ✅ (yes, it’s possible)

What you’ll be doing (aka your daily power moves)

Run the show (Operations)

• Own day-to-day kitchen ops: prep → pass → plate → repeat

• Keep stock levels on point (no “oops, we ran out” moments)

• Build and refine SOPs so the team can execute like clockwork

• Plan manpower smartly so service doesn’t turn into survival mode

Build a team, not just a roster (People)

• Train, coach, and level-up your chefs and kitchen crew

• Set expectations, give real feedback, and keep performance sharp

• Reduce absenteeism/tardiness through culture + accountability (not shouting)

• Work seamlessly with FOH—because we win as one team

Keep the food chef’s kiss (Customer Experience)

• Protect quality and consistency with your life (and palate)

• Improve, tweak, repeat—based on customer feedback and real insights

• Handle food-related complaints quickly, calmly, and professionally

Keep the numbers healthy (Business)

• Manage COGS, waste, and shrinkage like a pro

• Find cost wins without sacrificing flavour, freshness, or standards

Stay audit-ready, always (Food Safety)

• Top-tier hygiene, food safety compliance, and clean-as-you-go culture

• Safe storage, prep, sanitation—no shortcuts, ever

What we’re looking for

• A Head Chef who’s hands-on, calm under pressure, and wildly consistent

• Strong leadership + communication (your team actually knows what’s going on)

• High standards, high integrity, and a real love for developing people

• Food safety discipline is baked into your brain

Your leadership style (the Little Farms way)

• Own outcomes end-to-end

• Spot gaps (skills, speed, systems) and fix them fast

• Make decisions with both craft and data

• Communicate clearly, coach daily, keep things aligned

• Build trust across BOH + FOH

• Take responsibility, raise the bar, and bring the team with you

• Create pride, ownership, and a culture people stay for
