Strict Quality & Sanitation Control: Enforce uncompromised standards for plating, presentation, food rotation (FIFO), temperature logs, and strict compliance with the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA) and local Durham Region health bylaws.

Qualifications & Skills Required

Proven Experience: 3–5+ years as a Head Chef, Kitchen Manager, or high-level Sous Chef within a high-volume, premium casual restaurant or high-energy pub ecosystem.
Culinary Credentials: A college diploma in Culinary Arts/Management or a completed apprenticeship is preferred; valid Ontario Food Handler Certification is mandatory.
