Assist in maintaining food cost targets and reducing wastage across the kitchen. Support the smooth and fast operation of the kitchen service, ensuring hospitality standards are achieved. Communication Act as a key communication link between the kitchen and management. Share updates with the kitchen team on planning and operational changes.

Ensure personal working hours align with contracts without significant overrun. Communicate overtime, downtime, and any shift issues to management promptly.
