- Track pantry and refrigerator inventory and manage food storage to minimize waste.
- Accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, and special requests (e.g., gluten-free, keto, plant-based).
- Occasionally cater for small dinner parties or larger private events, including multi-course tasting menus.
- Ensure proper food safety, hygiene, and storage practices at all times.
Qualifications:
- Minimum 3 years of professional cooking experience, with at least 1 years in a fine dining restaurant.

- Strong knowledge of international cuisines, modern techniques, and health-conscious cooking.
