We are looking for a Junior Sous Chef to work in our restaurant Madame D.
Our Junior Sous Chef will operate as an assistant to our Sous Chefs, taking responsibility for the smooth running of all food production through managing: inventory; kitchen staff; and food preparation. They will also assist in overseeing and directing all aspects of the operation of the kitchen, including storing and service delivery to customers at the restaurant.
A key part of the role is to plan for the volume of food that will be ordered and how long it will take. Together with the senior kitchen staff, junior chefs are in charge of such logistics. They also assist in developing strategy for cross-marketing with the aim of increasing profit. This could mean pairing drinks with the food served.
Attention to detail is a crucial element within this role and all Junior Sous Chefs must be aware of the specific ingredients and their measurements. Finally, they are responsible for tasting meals/sauces before they are served to customers, to ensure they meet our standards. This role will have a particular focus on preparing momos, so experience in Chinese kitchen creating momos and dumplings with wok experience is essential.
