SENIOR SOUS CHEF – BRAND-NEW OPENING | CARDIFF CITY CENTRE

Up to £47,000 including Tronc & Bonus | New Kitchen | High-Energy Restaurant

This is a brand-new Cardiff City Centre opening for a seriously exciting, fast-growing restaurant brand.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Sous Chef who can take ownership, lead from the front and work alongside the Head Chef to build a brilliant kitchen operation from day one.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to stand on the sidelines.

You’ll be in the thick of service, leading the brigade, driving standards and keeping the kitchen flying when the pressure is on.

THIS IS YOUR KITCHEN

You’ll be a key part of the leadership team.

  • Deputise for the Head Chef – take full control when they’re away
  • Lead the brigade – motivate, coach and develop your team
  • Own the service – keep the kitchen organised, calm and moving
  • Drive food quality – consistency, presentation and execution
  • Set the standards – food, hygiene, organisation and performance
  • Own stock & costs – control waste, usage and ordering
  • Support training & development – build a strong team from the ground up
  • Solve problems quickly – stay calm and make things happen
  • Help shape the kitchen culture from opening day

When the tickets start flying, you don’t lose your head.

You take control.

WE WANT A PROPER KITCHEN LEADER

You’ll have proven experience as a Senior Sous Chef, or be a strong Sous Chef ready to step into a senior leadership position.

You’ll bring:

Leadership. Energy. Organisation. Consistency. Commercial awareness.

You know how to run a busy service, support a Head Chef and get the best out of a kitchen team.

You’re hands-on, calm under pressure and passionate about delivering great food every time.

And when Cardiff gets busy?

Bring it on.

  • Up to £47,000 including tronc & bonus
  • Quarterly bonus scheme
  • Tronc/tips share
  • Free meals on shift
  • Discounted dining
  • 28 days holiday
  • Company pension
  • Genuine career progression
  • Team events and socials
  • Staff away days
  • Annual summer festival
  • Brand-new Cardiff City Centre opening

READY TO MAKE YOUR MARK?

If you’re a Senior Sous Chef who thrives on busy services, brilliant food and building great teams, this is your chance to help create something from the ground up.

Lead the brigade. Support the Head Chef. Drive the standards. Set the pace.

Be part of the Cardiff opening from day one.
