Working closely with the kitchen team to deliver smooth service

Supporting other areas when needed (orders, phone, front-of-house support)

Assisting with minor admin such as night lists and ordering

What We’re Looking For:

Strong previous experience as a pizza chef (senior level preferred)

Hands-on experience with wood-fired ovens (essential)

Solid knowledge of HACCP and food safety
