Assist the Chef de Cuisine in daily kitchen operations, ensuring quality and consistency.
Supervise and train kitchen staff, stepping in as acting head chef when needed.
Maintain compliance with kosher dietary laws and uphold a kosher-certified kitchen environment.
Oversee food prep, line execution, and plating to meet fine dining standards.
Help manage kitchen inventory, food costs, and minimize waste.
Support communication between kitchen and front-of-house to ensure exceptional guest experience.
Ensure adherence to health, safety, and cleanliness standards at all times.
Qualifications:
Minimum 3 years’ experience in a fine dining or high-volume kitchen, preferably in a supervisory role.
