Head Chef - Gourmet Foods

SUMMARY:

HEAD CHEF WANTED – NEW GOURMET RESTAURANT OPENING IN KOMATIPOORT!

Are you a young, passionate chef ready to build something legendary?
My client is opening a bold new restaurant in Komatipoort, South Africa – and we are looking for a creative, driven, and energetic HEAD CHEF to lead the kitchen from the front.

This is not fine dining.

They are about big flavour, great vibes, and gourmet comfort food done right – think killer sushi, wood-fired pizzas, mouthwatering steaks, and dishes that leave people raving.
Inspired by the electric vibe of places like The Fat Butcher in Cape Town, we want soul, sizzle, and flair on every plate.

They are not here to be boring – they are here to shake things up.

POSITION INFO:

Key responsibilities:

• Leading and inspiring a team of kitchen staff
• Creating a menu that’s fresh, flavour-packed, and unforgettable
• Working directly with the Owner to shape the food identity of the brand
• Setting the tone for kitchen culture: think creative, fast-paced, and fun

Skills & Experience required:

• A young, dynamic chef with a fire in their belly and ideas in their back pocket
• Someone who knows how to plate beautifully – without the fuss of fine dining
• A leader with a strong work ethic, positive energy, and team-first attitude
• Experience across multiple cuisines such as sushi, pizza and steaks? That’s gold.
