Previous experience as a Head Chef, Executive Chef, or Senior Sous Chef ready for the next step
Strong leadership and coaching skills
Experience managing food costs, inventory, and labour budgets
Excellent organizational and communication skills
A passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences
