SUMMARY

The Cook is responsible for preparing high-quality, hygienic, and consistent food in large volumes for industrial catering contracts (factory canteens, corporate messes, and institutional clients).

KEY

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Prepare food items (rotis/parathas, sabzis, dal, rice, curries, snacks, sweets as applicable) as per the fixed menu cycle and standardized recipes for the assigned client site.

• Ensure meals are cooked in the correct quantity to match daily headcount, minimizing both shortage and wastage.

• Maintain consistency in taste, quality, and presentation across all batches and shifts.

• Follow portion control and costing norms as defined by the Catering Manager.

• Maintain personal hygiene and food safety standards at all times (uniform, cap, gloves as required).

• Ensure raw materials are used as per FIFO (first-in-first-out) and report any quality issues with received stock.

• Keep the cooking area, equipment, and utensils clean and sanitized before, during, and after service.

• Coordinate with helpers/kitchen staff to ensure timely prep and service, especially during peak meal hours.

• Report equipment malfunctions, gas/LPG issues,



or shortages of ingredients immediately to the Unit Head/Catering Manager.

• Support inventory checks and indenting of raw materials for the next day's menu.

• Adhere to all statutory food safety and hygiene requirements (FSSAI norms) applicable to the site.

• Be available for site rotation or additional shifts during peak demand, events, or staff shortages.

QUALIFICATIONS

& EXPERIENCE

• 2–5 years of experience in bulk/institutional cooking (factory canteen, corporate catering, banquet, or similar high-volume kitchen).

• Prior experience in Gujarati/Indian vegetarian cuisine preferred, given the nature of Azad Mithai's client base.

• Basic understanding of food safety and hygiene practices; FSSAI food handler certification is an advantage.

SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES

• Strong sense of hygiene, discipline, and cleanliness.

• Physical stamina to work in kitchen conditions for extended shifts.

• Team player, able to coordinate with helpers, supervisors, and delivery staff.

• Basic numeracy for portion and quantity calculations.
