Full-Time, Permanent Salary:

Competitive, dependent on experience About the Opportunity We're working with a leading international airline catering business looking to appoint an experienced Sous Chef specialising in Cantonese cuisine at its San Francisco production facility. This is an opportunity to take ownership of culinary production for a major international airline customer, combining authentic Cantonese cooking with kitchen leadership, production planning and operational management. The business is expanding its airline partnerships and is looking for someone who can deliver consistently high standards of food quality while managing the people, processes and production requirements behind the operation. This isn't simply a hands-on cooking position. We're looking for a Sous Chef who can lead a team, take accountability for production and help develop the wider kitchen operation. Key Responsibilities Oversee daily culinary production for a major international airline account, ensuring quality, consistency and authenticity. Lead, supervise and develop a team of specialty chefs, cooks and preparation staff. Prepare authentic Cantonese dishes, maintaining traditional flavours, cooking techniques and presentation standards. Translate airline menus and recipes into detailed production sheets, preparation schedules and ingredient requirements. Plan production volumes, batching and staffing to meet airline schedules and customer requirements. Manage ingredient usage, stock levels, food waste and production efficiency. Ensure compliance with HACCP, GMP, food safety and hygiene standards. Work closely with senior culinary management to maintain operational performance and customer satisfaction. Investigate quality concerns, identify root causes and implement corrective actions. Train and mentor kitchen employees, promoting accountability, teamwork and continuous improvement. Support menu development, recipe standardisation and new airline customer requirements. What We're Looking For Previous experience as a Sous Chef, Senior Sous Chef, Chef de Cuisine or similar kitchen leadership position. Strong professional experience preparing authentic Cantonese cuisine, with a good understanding of regional dishes, ingredients and cooking techniques. Experience supervising and developing kitchen teams, ideally around 10-15 cooks or more. Background in a medium-to-large culinary operation, such as a busy restaurant, hotel, banquet kitchen, catering business or central production facility. Strong understanding of production planning, recipe breakdown, portion control and batch preparation. Experience managing labor, ingredients, ordering and kitchen efficiency. Good knowledge of HACCP, GMP and food safety requirements. Ability to communicate effectively with kitchen teams and airline customers. Professional Cantonese communication skills are highly desirable. A hands-on leadership style, strong organisational skills and the ability to take ownership of results. Airline catering experience is advantageous but not essential. Candidates from high-volume restaurants, hotels, banquet operations and other large-scale food production environments are encouraged to apply. What's on Offer Competitive salary package based on experience. Opportunity to work with a major international airline customer. Senior Sous Chef responsibilities within an established culinary operation. Exposure to international airline catering and large-scale food production. Long-term career development within a growing international business. Relocation assistance may be considered for suitable candidates. Interested? If you're an experienced Sous Chef with a strong background in Cantonese cuisine and enjoy leading teams in a fast-paced production environment, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
