• Working efficiently during high-volume and fast-paced services
  
• Ensuring dishes are presented consistently and correctly
  
• Maintaining excellent food hygiene and kitchen cleanliness standards
  
• Monitoring stock and helping reduce food waste
  
• Following food safety procedures and kitchen systems
  
• Supporting the Head Chef with the day-to-day running of the kitchen
  
• Helping train and support other kitchen team members when required
