Kitchen In Charge / Head Grill Chef (Smash Burger Specialist)

Stack & Dome is a high-volume, fast-casual restaurant specializing in dry-aged beef smash burgers. We are seeking a highly skilled and responsible individual to take on the pivotal dual role of Kitchen In Charge / Head Grill Chef.

This position is ideal for a chef who not only excels at high-volume, precision cooking but also possesses the leadership and organizational maturity to run the back-of-house operation independently, ensuring strict compliance with all health, safety, and operational standards. You will be the authority on the grill and the leader in kitchen hygiene and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities1. Culinary Execution & Leadership

• Master the Smash Burger: Execute our precise "smash and press" technique perfectly and consistently, handling high-fat content beef mince to achieve our signature crust and quality on every single burger.
• Quality Control: Maintain Stack & Dome's exacting standards for food quality, portion control, and presentation across all grill and prep stations.
• Volume Management: Lead the line during peak rush hours, ensuring high speed and accurate order output in a high-volume environment.
• Training & Mentorship: Train and supervise junior kitchen staff on proper cooking techniques, recipes, and station procedures.

2. Kitchen Management & Compliance

• Health & Safety In Charge: Act as the designated person responsible for maintaining 100% compliance with all local health, hygiene, and food safety regulations.
• Documentation & Reporting: Manage and maintain all necessary daily logs (e.g., temperature checks, cleaning schedules, spoilage reports) required for internal audits and government compliance.
• Inventory & Ordering: Assist in managing inventory, minimizing waste, and ensuring proper storage and rotation of all dry-aged beef and ingredients.
• Operational Excellence: Oversee kitchen opening and closing procedures, ensuring all equipment is maintained and the kitchen is ready for the next shift.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Experience: Demonstrated experience as a lead cook, grill chef, or kitchen supervisor in a high-volume, fast-paced setting.
• Health & Safety Certification: Must possess a valid qualification or deep practical knowledge of Food Safety and Hygiene Standards (e.g., HACCP, local health authority requirements).
• Detail-Oriented Mindset: Non-negotiable ability to maintain and enforce meticulous standards for consistency, cleanliness, and process execution without constant management supervision.
• Pressure Management: Proven ability to remain calm, organized, and focused while directing staff and managing a busy grill station.
