Head Chef Wanted — Boutique Wine Bistro 🍷

Location: Dhoby Ghaut, Exit B. UBS building
Type: Full-time
Pay: Competitive salary + Food sales commission

Hey, Chef 👋

We run a small, wine-loving bistro and we're on the hunt for a Head Chef to run our kitchen and make the menu their own. If you love good food, great wine (get to taste it with food), and want a kitchen where you actually get creative freedom (not just execute someone else's recipes) — let's talk.

What You'll Be Doing

• Running the kitchen day-to-day — hot side, cold side, all of it
• Leading and looking out for your kitchen crew
• Sorting out the staff schedule so everyone's set up to succeed
• Keeping things clean, safe, and running smoothly (health checks won't scare you)
• Handling the odd customer hiccup like a pro
• Keeping an eye on food costs and labour costs, and sourcing good ingredients
• Managing stock so we're never out of the good stuff
• Building menus that actually make sense with our wine list
• Dreaming up special menus for wine pairing dinners and events
• Hitting our monthly kitchen numbers (we'll help you get there)

What We're Looking For

• You've led a kitchen before — Head Chef, Sous Chef, Chef de Cuisine, whatever the title, you know how to run a pass
• You're into wine, or at least curious enough to learn what pairs with what
• You can keep food costs in check without cutting corners on flavour
• You've got ideas and want a place that'll actually use them
• You're calm when it's slammed and kind to your team when it's not
• Food safety cert (or happy to get one)

What's In It For You

• Competitive salary
• Real creative input — menu, events, all of it
• A boutique, quality-first kitchen (no corporate playbook here)
• Room to grow with us
