- Follow standard recipes, portion sizes and presentation specs
- Maintain HACCP, hygiene and food safety standards across storage, labelling and temperature logs
- Keep your section clean, organised and stocked through the shift
- Support stock rotation (FIFO), minimise wastage and flag shortages early

Who we're looking for
- 1–3 years of kitchen experience in a hotel, resort or standalone restaurant
- Diploma or degree in Hotel Management or Culinary Arts preferred; strong trainees welcome
- Solid basics: knife skills, stocks, sauces, and a genuine interest in ingredients
- Understanding of kitchen hygiene and food safety practices
- Willing to work in shifts, including weekends and holidays
- Comfortable relocating to and living in Mulshi — accommodation and meals are provided

What we offer
- Accommodation, meals and duty transport
- Training directly under an experienced Head Chef at a pre-opening property

- A clear growth path in a kitchen that's still being built, for those who earn it
