• Lead, organize, and supervise daily kitchen operations to ensure a smooth, hygienic, and efficient workflow.
• Maintain strict standards for food quality, taste, presentation, and consistency before any dish leaves the pass.
• Manage stock levels, conduct regular inventory checks, minimize food wastage, and assist in maintaining the target food cost percentage.
