Here are some things that might help to attract applicants:
Bonus suggestions for head chefs
Opening Stock plus purchases - closing stock =
cost of goods sold
to work out Gross Profit %
(Sales - Cost of goods Sold) divided by Sales = then multiply
by 100 to get the Gross Profit %
Eg:
(100 - 30) = 70 divided by 100 = .7 x 100 = 70%
We have 78 relief chefs out working this week, the jobs coming in are steady.
Relief work will start to tail off as we get closer to the end October.
We are happy to get chefs registered but this will be for 2020 season which will begin in March.

Thursday 17th October
As we approach the end of our third week in October and with Halloween and Christmas in sight, the work in the CIS office continues to come in. This week I have been starting to learn more about property within the CIS company. We have many properties throughout Dumfries and Galloway as well as the apartment in Spain. It is sometimes nice to take a break from Chef recruitment and focus myself on something else for a change.
Permanent jobs are still being registered and the CV’s are still coming in. There appears to be more chefs looking again as a lot of the seasonal jobs have now finished for the winter. However, with the Brexit deal hanging in the balance, many chefs who have come from abroad are now unsure of where their future stands here in the UK. We will soon see come the 31stof this month…
I will be on holiday for a week as of the end of today and will be back in the office on Monday the 28th. Jessica and Johanna will be picking up my emails and Facebook messages and will continue with the junior chef recruitment on my behalf.
We have 68 relief chefs out working all over Scotland.
Relief has been steady this week, the availability for immediate relief is still quite tight and availability from the 25th October is better.
I have counted all the chefs we have had registered this year and the total was 248.
If all relief chefs can PM, call 01683 222830 or email jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk with your availability over the festive period please. Christmas Day and New Years day is double time.
Jessica and Jade have been getting lots of CV’s sent out, interview and trials confirmed.
