RIND - Pizza, Cheese & Wine
RIND - Pizza, Cheese & Wine is on the hunt for an ambitious and creative Head Chef to join our restaurant located on the site of The Courtyard Dairy in the Yorkshire Dales.
Salary DOE - £45,000 - £50,000 inclusive of service charge
We’re dedicated to celebrating the best in British Cheese, working closely with cheesemakers and producers from all around the country. RIND offers British cheese-topped pizzas, cheese boards and baked cheeses, with the menu revolving around a wood-fired oven at the heart of the restaurant – all seasonal and made with the best quality produce.
We’re an extremely passionate, creative and determined team, with an eye for detail and a strong focus on the customer experience. If you’re passionate about food and hospitality, have a natural ability to lead and motivate a team, and love cheese as much as we do, we want to hear from you!
We’re looking for someone with previous pizza-making experience and ideally head chef experience who’s highly organised and knows how to get the best out of their team. A knowledge of British cheese is ideal but not essential. You’ll be responsible for helping to ensuring the experience of our guests is second to none, monitoring and maintaining margins and food and staff cost thresholds in lieu of the Head Chef, and ensuring a positive working relationship across the entire restaurant team.
