• Organisational Support: Assist the chefs with basic food prep (e.g., vegetable prep) during peak times and ensure the dry stores and walk-in fridges are organised.
• Stock Management: Help with the receipt and unloading of luxury ingredient deliveries, ensuring everything is stored correctly according to food safety standards.
• Operational Flow: Clear and clean workstations rapidly to keep the kitchen "service-ready" at all times, especially during urgent, last-minute VIP orders.
• Waste Control: Manage kitchen waste and recycling efficiently, adhering to all health and safety and environmental protocols.
• Site Maintenance: Deep clean heavy kitchen machinery and maintain floor safety to avoid any "audit flags" or hazards.
