Chef
Hospitality · Far North, Northland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $29/hr
Cuisine: Indian and intercontinental. Location: Far North, Northland, New Zealand. Employer: a local hospitality business.
What counts most here is what you can do at the stove. The business wants an experienced Chef who has a proven record in both styles of cooking and who brings real experience, steady results and confidence to a busy commercial kitchen.
Day to day you will own the prep and cooking. On top of that, you will have input into new menus, how the kitchen is organised, stock control and the standards food must meet. Have an English CV ready that names the kitchens you have worked in and the dishes you cooked there.
