• Manage day‑to‑day kitchen operations and service.
• Maintain consistent standards for food quality, presentation and portioning.
• Manage food ordering, inventory, storage and supplier relationships.

• Work on menu costing and pricing together with the management team.
• Ensure food safety, hygiene and cleanliness standards are consistently maintained.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, quality and profitability.
• Work closely with the wider team on the opening, launch and ongoing development of the concept.
• Stay involved in the kitchen and lead by example during service.
