Assist with recruitment, onboarding, scheduling, timekeeping and performance feedback in collaboration with the Executive Chef and Director of Hospitality.
Maintain food safety, sanitation and workplace safety standards, including safe food handling, allergen controls, cleaning schedules, required records and audit readiness. Monitor kitchen equipment and promptly report maintenance needs.
Provide culinary leadership in the Executive Chef’s absence, maintaining operational continuity and communicating priorities or concerns to the Director of Hospitality.
