  • Deliver high-quality, authentic Italian cuisine
  • Inspire, train and mentor the kitchen team
  • Manage ordering, stock control and food costs
  • Maintain food safety and kitchen standards
  • Work with management on seasonal specials and menu development
  • Ensure smooth, efficient service every shift

About You
