Role Overview
We are looking for a Commis 1 who can support the kitchen with discipline, consistency, and a strong respect for prep and hygiene.
This role is for someone who understands that good service starts long before plating. Meat handling, mise en place, station discipline, cleanliness, and following process properly all matter here.
You will work closely with the Head Chef and kitchen team to keep prep, handling, and service support sharp and reliable.
This is an important early-stage role inside a kitchen that wants to build real standards from day one.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Assist with day-to-day kitchen prep and basic production tasks
- Handle meat, vegetables, sauces, and other ingredients carefully and correctly
- Support prep for smoked meats, grill work, and service mise en place
- Maintain hygiene, cleanliness, and station organisation at all times
- Follow instructions from the Head Chef and senior kitchen team with consistency
- Help with portioning, storage, labelling, and stock rotation
- Support kitchen opening, service, and closing routines
- Keep equipment, surfaces, and prep areas clean and service-ready
What We’re Looking For
- 1-2 years of experience in a restaurant or relevant kitchen setup is preferred
- Basic understanding of meat handling, prep work, and hygiene
- Willingness to learn smokehouse systems, prep discipline, and kitchen standards
- Ability to work cleanly, quickly, and with attention to detail
- Good attitude, reliability, and respect for team structure
- Comfort working in a fast-moving, hands-on kitchen environment
- Basic knowledge of food safety and kitchen cleanliness
- A culinary course or hotel management background is a plus, but practical skill and work ethic matter more than paper
Why This Role Matters
This is not just a helper role where you stand around waiting to be told every next move.
This is for someone who wants to become part of a serious kitchen system early and build strong habits in the right environment.
You will not be joining a finished machine.
You will be joining a team that is building one.

About Signature ChopHouse
Signature ChopHouse is a smokehouse startup from Thrissur built around brisket, smoked meats, and serious intent. The brand is positioned as a brisket-led smokehouse with a bold evening dine-in experience, visible smoking, and a meat-first identity in a market where that category is still underbuilt.
We are building in a niche that is still taking shape in Kerala, and we are among the early brands trying to give it a real identity.
Our focus is simple: good meat, proper smoke, strong systems, and a dining experience that feels different from the usual.
We are still in build mode, which means this is not a plug-and-play kitchen job.
It is a chance to join a kitchen early, learn the system properly, and grow with a brand being built from the ground up.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: From ₹15,000.00 per month
Ability to commute/relocate:
- Thrissur, Kerala: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Required)
