Head Chef

We're looking for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen on an exciting new casual dining project in Glasgow think elevated comfort food done properly: loaded burgers, dirty fries, nachos, and a menu built around bold flavours, speed, and consistency.

This isn't fine dining pretending to be casual, it's high-volume, high-energy cooking where every plate needs to go out fast, look great, and taste exactly the same as the one before it. If you thrive under pressure and take genuine pride in getting the details right even when the tickets are flying, this is built for you.

The role:

• Lead and develop the kitchen team from the ground up on a brand-new concept
• Own the menu execution, burgers, loaded fries, nachos, and similar high-turnover dishes with consistency as the non-negotiable
• Manage a fast-paced, high-volume section without letting standards slip
• Oversee stock control, ordering, and food cost management
• Ensure full compliance with food safety, allergen, and hygiene standards
• Recruit, train, and develop your team, building a strong kitchen culture
• Work closely with the wider management team on menu development and specials

What you'll bring:

• Proven Head Chef or strong Sous Chef experience ready to step up
• A track record in fast-paced, high-volume kitchens, casual dining, QSR-plus, or similar
• Exceptional organisation and attention to detail, even when it's slammed
• A genuine passion for comfort food done well, not cut corners
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to keep a team calm and focused under pressure
• Solid understanding of GP, food costing, and stock management
• Food safety qualifications (Level 3 or working towards)

Pay: £38,000.00-£40,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Discounted or free food
• Employee discount
• Store discount

Work Location: In person
