Head Chef - Premium Italian Concept

Job Title: Head Chef

Location: Bahrain

Package: up to 1,500 BHD per month, plus benefits

I'm currently supporting an amazing hospitality group, in Bahrain, with their search for a Head Chef.

The group have a number of incredible concepts under their banner, and they are now actively looking to bring on-board an experienced Head Chef, to oversee all BOH & culinary operations for one of their leading premium/high-end Italian concepts over in Bahrain.

This is quite an intimate venue which seats up to 50, for both lunch & dinner services - and you'll be leading a wider BOH team of 4.

The role will be reporting to the Group Director of Food & Beverage, and in short you'll be responsible for overseeing and directing all aspects of the BOH & culinary operations. You'll be tasked on achieving an excellent standard of food quality and food presentation as well as managing the food costs in accordance with resort guidelines with regards to both quality and style of cuisine. You will also need to manage all aspects of the kitchen including purchasing, staffing, menu design and presentation.

We are looking for those who have successfully overseen BOH & culinary operations within high-end/fine dining venues in the past (with a strong focus on Mediterranean/Italian cuisine), and prior Middle Eastern/GCC experience is a must too.

Responsibilities:

• Control and direct the food preparation process and any other relative activities.
• Construct menus with new or existing culinary creations ensuring the variety and quality of the servings.
• Approve and “polish” dishes before they reach the customer.
• Plan orders of equipment or ingredients according to identified shortages.
• Arrange for repairs when necessary.
• Remedy any problems or defects.
• Be fully in charge of hiring, managing and training kitchen staff.
• Oversee the work of subordinates.
• Comply with nutrition and sanitation regulations and safety standards.
