We are looking for a skilled and energetic Cook to manage the Chinese/Indo-Chinese section of our café kitchen. You will be responsible for preparing high-quality, consistent dishes from scratch, maintaining quick ticket times, and managing your station’s daily preparation.

- Ensure all food is prepared, portioned, and presented according to established quality and presentation standards.
- Manage ticket times efficiently, ensuring dishes are cooked and ready simultaneously with other sections during busy peak hours.

- Monitor stock levels for the Chinese section and coordinate with the Head Chef to raise daily/weekly indent (purchase requisitions) for fresh ingredients and dry goods.
