  • Manage section stock, submit requisitions, rotate and store products correctly, and reduce avoidable waste.
  • Keep kitchen work areas clean and ensure food hygiene and safety procedures are followed.
  • Complete temperature records and hygiene checklists, and report incidents promptly.
  • Coordinate with outlet chefs and kitchen management to support clear communication, team development, and guest satisfaction.

Requirements & Qualifications
