Head Chef

Overview

As a Head Chef, you are the most experienced and efficient worker in the kitchen under the Manager. The Head Chef at Blizzard’s Pub has strong leadership skills and is a positive influence on others both inside and outside of the kitchen. They have mastered--and can operate--all stations of a kitchen, and has the ability to lead other cooks and kitchen staff, check timing on tickets, and manage quality control.

The Head Chef works with the Manager in managing inventory, prepares orders and places orders when needed, and can easily lead shifts in the absence of Manager. A Head Chef requires little to no supervision and can prep, cook, and lead for any and all meal periods as needed for the restaurant and potential banquet events.

Like all cook positions, the Head Chef position involves working on your feet, working with your hands, and working as part of a team. You are available to work days, evenings, weekends and holidays with more time being needed during periods of extremely heavy business.
