Mentor team members, fostering growth and cross-training opportunities.
Manage scheduling, delegation, and workflow to ensure efficiency and accountability.
Build an inclusive, collaborative kitchen culture where staff feel supported and empowered.

6. Food Costing

Monitor and control food costs to meet budget goals.
Calculate recipe and batch costs; track inventory and reduce waste.
Work with vendors to source cost-effective ingredients and supplies.
Support menu pricing and development with profitability in mind.

Proven experience as a Sous Chef, Kitchen Manager, or senior role in a high-volume or commissary kitchen.
Experience leading teams, scaling recipes, and balancing creativity with operational efficiency.
Skilled in both savory and pastry/prep workflows.
Culinary degree or equivalent training a plus, but not required.

Desired Attributes

Hands-on, collaborative leader with a passion for menu innovation and brand storytelling.
Comfortable with spreadsheets for P&L, Recipe Costing, Production, and general planning.
Strong knowledge of Taiwanese and pan-Asian flavors with enthusiasm for reimagining nostalgic foods.
