Job Description
Overview
So, you’re the Sous Chef at Home Bakery? Buckle up, because this gig’s pretty much the heartbeat of the kitchen. You’re the right-hand to the Head Chef—think Batman and Robin, but with more butter and sharp knives. You’ll be wrangling the crew, making sure every croissant doesn’t end up looking like a pancake, and throwing in creative twists to keep things interesting.
Let’s break it down. Your day-to-day? You’re basically running the kitchen circus—overseeing all the different stations, keeping an eagle eye on food quality and making sure things stay cleaner than your grandma’s house. And you’ll be helping sketch out the menu. If the salmon mousse tastes off, that’s on you. If a junior chef burns the brioche again, you’re the one teaching them how not to torch it next time.
You’ll be delegating, mentoring, and putting out fires (hopefully the metaphorical kind, but who knows). Your vibe sets the tone—if you’re frazzled, everyone else will be too. Positive energy and teamwork? That’s the secret sauce. Creativity’s a must; if you’ve got an idea for a wild pastry or a seasonal twist, this place is hungry for it. Home Bakery loves mixing up classics with new flavors that make regulars’ taste buds do a little happy dance.
On the logistics side—there’s the less-glam stuff, too. Inventory, food costs, not letting anything go to waste, all the nitty gritty. You’ll be talking to suppliers and making sure health inspectors don’t have nightmares after dropping by. The food you and your team put out? That’s the backbone of Home Bakery’s rep. Every plate is your chance to wow someone, keep people coming back, and help the brand grow.
That’s the job. If you like things fast-paced, creative, and a little bit wild, you’ll fit right in.
Responsibilities- Oversee all kitchen stations and ensure high food quality and cleanliness standards.
- Collaborate with the Head Chef and help sketch out the menu; drive creativity with new pastry ideas and seasonal twists.
- Delegate tasks, mentor junior staff, and manage the kitchen workflow to prevent and resolve issues quickly.
- Maintain a positive kitchen culture and lead by example to set the right tone for the team.
- Handle inventory management, food costs, waste reduction, and supplier communications.
- Coordinate with health inspectors and ensure compliance with safety and sanitation standards.
- Experience: Five to eight years as a Sous Chef in reputable UAE kitchens or similar settings.
- Strong leadership, mentoring, and delegation skills; ability to work in fast-paced environments.
- Creativity and willingness to develop new pastry ideas and seasonal offerings.
Listen, if you’ve been hustling as a Sous Chef in fancy UAE joints for, what, five to eight years or so, hit us up. Don’t be shy—fire over your CV to , and make sure you slap “Sous Chef Application – Home Bakery” in the subject line, or it might just disappear into the void. We wanna see what you’re made of.
About UsHome Bakery isn’t just another dessert spot in the UAE—it’s basically a cult favorite at this point. People rave about the pastries, the goodies are always fresh (and honestly, dangerously addictive), and the savory stuff? Don’t even get me started. Now that we’re popping up in more places, we need more food-obsessed folks to jump in and help us keep the magic going. This isn’t some boring, cookie-cutter job. At Home Bakery, you’re basically family. Got ideas? Bring ’em. Love working with others? Perfect. Think outside the (cake) box? Even better. Come on—let’s bake up something awesome together.
