My client, a restaurant based on a beautiful wine farm in the Durbanville Wine Valley, is seeking to employ a Chef de Partie. Flexibility to work on both the hot and cold section is essential, as duties will vary based on operational needs.
Requirements:
- 1–2+ years’ experience in a similar role
- Formal culinary training (essential)
- Ability to work independently and manage a section
- Versatility to assist across various kitchen sections (advantageous)
- Effective communicator with the ability to perform well under pressure
- Professional, presentable, and reliable
- Own reliable transport is essential (non-negotiable due to farm location; public transport and Uber are not accessible to our venue, especially after 17:00 or during peak hours)
- Strong time management and team collaboration skills
- Availability to work weekends, public holidays, day shifts, and occasional evenings, including Christmas and overtime, as required by operational needs and senior management shifts
- Passion for food and a commitment to quality and excellence
Application Requirements: Contactable references, recent photograph, and if available, a short portfolio of previous culinary work (optional)
