Senior Sous Chef / Head Chef

Roles & Responsibilities

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced and driven Head Chef to join us for an exciting new F&B concept in Singapore.

This is an opportunity to be part of the concept from an early stage and play a key role in shaping the kitchen, menu and overall food direction.

We’re looking for someone who is both creative and hands-on — someone who enjoys developing food, building systems, leading a team and being involved in the process from concept development through to day-to-day operations.

The Role

As Head Chef, you will take ownership of the kitchen and work closely with the management team to develop the food direction and build a strong kitchen operation from the ground up.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the development and execution of the food concept and menu.
• Develop, test and refine dishes, recipes and seasonal offerings.
• Establish recipes, portion sizes, plating standards and kitchen SOPs.
• Set up kitchen systems, workflows and preparation processes ahead of opening.
• Recruit, train and lead the kitchen team.
• Manage day-to-day kitchen operations and service.
• Maintain consistent standards for food quality, presentation and portioning.
• Manage food ordering, inventory, storage and supplier relationships.
• Monitor food costs, wastage and kitchen expenses.
• Work on menu costing and pricing together with the management team.
• Ensure food safety, hygiene and cleanliness standards are consistently maintained.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, quality and profitability.
• Work closely with the wider team on the opening, launch and ongoing development of the concept.
• Stay involved in the kitchen and lead by example during service.
