Senior Chef Assistant / Chef Assistant

We're looking for driven, hands-on individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen and take pride in delivering consistent, quality food.

This role goes beyond daily kitchen work — you'll gain exposure to operations, R&D, costing, and supplier management, making it a great fit for those aiming to grow into senior or leadership roles.

What You'll Do

Kitchen Operations

  • Support the Head Chef / Operations Manager in running smooth daily operations
  • Prepare and cook menu items with focus on quality, consistency, and presentation
  • Ensure timely food prep and service, especially during peak periods
  • Execute opening and closing routines with discipline
  • Maintain an organised and efficient kitchen workflow
  • Supervise and guide junior staff during shifts

Product & Cost Management

  • Support R&D through product trials, recipe improvements, and process refinement
  • Monitor and record daily wastage to reduce cost and improve efficiency
  • Assist with menu costing and ingredient tracking
  • Support supplier sourcing, pricing comparison, and evaluation
  • Monitor stock levels and assist with inventory and replenishment

Standards & Training

  • Uphold cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene standards at all times
  • Ensure all processes follow SOPs and brand standards
  • Support onboarding and training of new kitchen staff

What We're Looking For

  • Minimum 1–2 years of relevant kitchen experience (high-volume preferred)
  • Comfortable in a dynamic, high-pressure environment
  • Basic knowledge of kitchen operations and food safety
  • Leadership potential and initiative (for senior roles)
  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn

Why Join Us

  • Exposure beyond kitchen operations — R&D, costing, and supplier management
  • Be part of a growing, structured F&B concept
  • Clear path to senior or leadership roles
  • Team that values discipline, consistency, and continuous improvement
