Embassy Cafe is seeking a reliable and skilled Breakfast Head Chef to manage our busy morning service. You will be responsible for preparing high-quality breakfast dishes, managing kitchen prep, and ensuring excellent food standards. Morning routine: Cook breakfast items quickly and to a high standard during peak café rushes, set up the breakfast station before service begins at 6am.

One of the most important duties will be inventory control- monitoring food stock, rotating ingredients, and reporting shortages.

Ability to work efficiently under pressure during busy morning rushes is highly valuable, punctuality is a requirement.
