Head Chef

HEAD CHEF | CAFÉ BAR 1780 | GLASGOW

Café Bar 1780 is looking for an experienced Head Chef to join our team in the heart of Glasgow.

This is a key role within the business. We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of the kitchen, lead from the front and build a strong, positive and consistent team.

Our menu is well established, with seasonal specials introduced throughout the year. This role is less about constantly reinventing the menu and more about delivering great food consistently, developing your team and making sure the kitchen operates to a high standard every day.

The role

You’ll take responsibility for the day to day running of the kitchen, working closely with the management team and FOH to ensure smooth, well organised services.

We’re looking for someone who will:

• Lead, motivate and develop the kitchen team
• Take ownership of kitchen standards and consistency
• Create a positive, respectful team culture
• Maintain strong food quality and presentation
• Manage ordering, stock and kitchen costs
• Ensure food safety, hygiene and compliance standards are maintained
• Organise the kitchen effectively and prepare the team for service
• Support seasonal specials and menu development where appropriate
• Work closely with the wider management team to keep the whole venue running smoothly

Who we're looking for

We need someone who is hands on, organised and a natural leader.

You’ll ideally have previous Head Chef experience, or be an experienced Sous Chef ready to take that next step.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who takes pride in their kitchen, communicates well, supports their team and understands that a great kitchen is built around consistency, teamwork and standards.
