Requirements
Proven experience: Minimum 6 years of experience in high-volume, high-end kitchens, demonstrating strong station control and readiness for supervisory responsibility.
Leadership potential: Ability to direct station flow, mentor line cooks, and step up in the absence of a Sous Chef.
Technical mastery: Strong foundation in modern kitchen techniques, product handling, and enthusiasm for Nordic-Japanese flavor profiles.
Attention to detail: High standards for station organization, plating accuracy, food safety, and cleanliness.
Clear communication: Strong, constructive communication with both kitchen peers and front-of-house teams during service.
