Sous Chef

This mainstay in the heart of Aberdeen is looking for a new sous chef to assist the head chef, and run the kitchen in their absence.

The venue has historically been very busy for their food and are looking to return to previous business levels. The drink service is very popular, as is footfall, so this isn't an impossible task.

The new proposed concept is for all fresh soft tacos and small plates, something which can be served quickly but with delicious food and high profit margins.

You'll be working in a small team with very experienced owners who benefit from years of experience in similar establishments.

The previous team is moving on so there's also a Head Chef role open.

The hours are negotiable, as are the amount of days off, as they're keen to bring in the right quality of chefs to deliver their offering.

The venue is closed 2 days a week, and currently serves up to 40 covers on a saturday, but they're keen to increase these numbers.

The hourly rate is negotiable for the right candidate, and this is a live out position.
