About the Role
We’re looking for a Junior Kitchen Manager/Sous Chef for our Papa John’s kitchen. Reporting to the Kitchen Manager/Head Chef, you will support the running of the kitchen and help lead a team of up to 10. Making our guests smile is at the heart of our values, and you will ensure this happens consistently by keeping guests at the centre of all operational decisions. This will include resource planning, recruitment and selection, ensuring that we have the very best team in place to deliver an amazing service. You will be passionate about exceptional experience and will monitor this regularly to develop action plans in your venue with a focus on continuous improvement. Financial performance will play an important part in your role, and you will deliver food cost budgets through effective menu planning, cooking to standards and specifications. You will also support accountability of food hygiene standards and health and safety, in line with legislation and company policies.
Qualifications
You should have passed your Level 3 Food Safety qualification and be confident in leading a team to continually deliver high standards in a fast‑paced and busy kitchen environment. Experience in a similar level role is desirable. Applicants with a ROC or AROC qualification and prior experience at Papa John’s will be given preference but this is not essential as full training will be provided.
About You
You will need to be hard‑working and determined, a reliable person who likes to get things done and who will look for better ways for the team to consistently deliver our brand standards. We are looking for candidates who are energetic and enthusiastic, high‑spirited and fun‑loving, and who will understand their role and the value they can add to the guest experience by unleashing the potential of the team. As with any chef role at this level, you will also be responsible for managing margins and controlling costs and all things health, safety and hygiene related.
The cherry on the top for a successful candidate is someone who is fun, keen to join in and work as part of a team, and is interested in ensuring our guests have a great time, every time.
