Build the production backbone of one of India’s emerging Punjabi QSR brands
Kulcha Patola is looking for a Head of Commissary Production to lead and scale our central production facility in Mohali.
This is not a conventional chef role, and it is not a role limited to managing daily kitchen output.
We are looking for a hands-on production leader who can transform our commissary into a highly disciplined, data-driven and scalable food-production system supporting multiple outlets, new formats and future expansion.
Kulcha Patola is building a modern, chef-less Punjabi QSR model powered by centralised production, standardised recipes, controlled finishing and robust operating systems. As we enter our next phase of growth, the commissary will be the backbone of the company.
The person joining us will have the opportunity to build that backbone alongside the founders.
