Job description

Senior Sous Chef / Kitchen Manager

Tanjong Pagar, Singapore | Full-Time

At Bearded Bella, we believe a great café is built on good food, great coffee, and even better people. We’re a passionate, close-knit team that thrives on creativity, warmth, and genuine connection. If you love working in a dynamic environment where quality and heart matter just as much as skill, we’d love to have you join our crew.

We’re looking for a Sous Chef / Kitchen Manager to join our team — someone who thrives in a fast‑paced kitchen, takes pride in their craft, and can confidently support the Head Chef in leading the brigade. This role is perfect for a chef with strong leadership skills who is ready to take ownership of operations while still being hands‑on in the kitchen.

What you’ll do:

• Lead daily kitchen operations – oversee prep, service, and plating with consistency and efficiency.
• Support the Head Chef – step up in their absence, ensuring smooth execution and high standards are maintained.
• Mentor and train the team – guide junior chefs, share skills, and help build a motivated and skilled kitchen crew.
• Resource & supplier management – oversee stock levels, work with suppliers, and find ways to improve cost‑efficiency without compromising quality.
• Maintain standards – ensure food safety, hygiene, and quality are consistently upheld.
• Menu collaboration – contribute ideas for seasonal specials and assist in refining recipes.
• Take ownership – bring a proactive, solution‑driven approach to managing both the people and the operations side of the kitchen.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Sous Chef, Senior Chef de Partie, or Kitchen Manager in a café or restaurant setting.
• Strong culinary skills with a passion for fresh, quality ingredients.
• Natural leadership and excellent communication skills.
• Highly organised, resourceful, and operationally savvy, with a knack for problem‑solving.
• Able to manage inventory, suppliers, and workflow efficiently.
• Hands‑on, reliable, and committed to delivering consistency and excellence.

Why join us?

• Be part of a growing café group with room to shape and influence the kitchen’s future.
• A supportive, passionate team that values quality and creativity.
• Competitive salary and opportunities for growth.
