4 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants. As a Sous Chef for Village Hotels we are looking for hands on passionate individuals to assist the Head Chef in the day to day running of our busy kitchen operation. The successful candidate will have a proven track record in delivering a brand lead menu, maintain high food standards and manage food and payroll cost. Our ideal candidate should also have a friendly, positive attitude towards work and be someone that can guide the team and stay calm under pressure.
Our P&G menus offer a wide range of our famous stacked burgers, sticky wings to our health & wellness bowls.
