Experienced in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen
Commercially aware and confident with ordering and margins
Passionate about quality, standards and presentation
A natural leader who motivates and develops others
Calm under pressure and consistent in their approach
If you're ready to step up, grow your leadership skills and build a long-term career with one of Scotland's most forward-thinking hospitality groups, we'd love to hear from you.
