- Monitor stock levels and assist with ordering and food preparation
- Follow food safety standards and kitchen procedures
- Work collaboratively with the head chef and kitchen team
Skills and Experience:
- Previous experience as a pizza chef and operating a wood-fired pizza oven.
- Ability to work efficiently under pressure in a fast-paced kitchen
- Excellent attention to detail and a passion for quality food
- Reliable, organised, and a strong team player
What We Offer:
- Learn to read and understand a P&L, manage food costs and work within budgets
