Overview
Join to apply for the Head Chef role at The Wonderfield Group
Contract: Full Time • Salary: £36,202 - £38,201 • Contracted Hours: 45
We burst onto the restaurant scene in 1997, when we shook up London and showed the UK a new way of eating. Part of this was the 'kaiten' conveyor belt and colour-coded dishes which made our name. We are proud to be about fresh, flavoursome, authentic Japanese food. Sushi is what we are famous for, but we also have a mouth-watering range of hot street food available – from traditional classics to innovative fusion dishes. Fast forward to today and we have over 70 restaurants all over the globe, more than 300 kiosks in the UK, with grocery products and pre-pack sushi in most major UK supermarkets.
We are looking for dynamic individuals with a love and passion for food to join us on our exciting journey. Our people are at the heart of what we do.
What you will be doing
The Head Chef is responsible for the entire operation of their YO! Kitchen and ultimately accountable for the safety of our teams and guests. You will lead and inspire the kitchen team, obsess about food quality, adherence to spec, and prepare each YO! dish brilliantly. You will strive to deliver an incredible guest experience, develop the team to Super Squad status, and drive restaurant profitability through strong food cost controls. You should be comfortable and natural in all sections of the kitchen, able to cut fish, cook rice, roll sushi, and oversee daily kitchen operations.
