ABOUT ARKAYA

Arkaya is a boutique luxury hill resort in Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand, operated by SuperGlitz Resorts Pvt. Ltd. The property is built around an experience-led idea of luxury: considered design, high service standards, and a Himalayan setting that few properties in the region can match.

Our all-day dining restaurant and bar, 180 Degree Restobar, sits at the centre of the guest experience. It serves resident guests, full-property wedding and celebration buyouts, corporate groups, and diners visiting the property. We work with fresh, seasonal and locally sourced produce from the Kumaon region, and we hold ourselves to metro-city standards of food and service in a hill setting.

ROLE SUMMARY

This is a leadership position, not a line role. The Executive Chef owns the kitchen end-to-end: menus, standards, costs, hygiene, people, and the food memory guests carry home with them.

We already have a capable team of chefs. What we need is someone with the seniority and craft to lead them, train them, correct habits, and lift the entire brigade's output.



Because this is a boutique property rather than a large chain hotel, the Executive Chef here is hands-on. The right candidate is as comfortable engineering a menu and holding a food cost as they are running a busy pass on a full-house weekend or a wedding buyout.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Culinary leadership
Take complete ownership of 180 Degree Restobar: conceptualize, cost and launch menus that give the outlet a distinct identity, solid enough to draw both resident guests and diners from outside the property

Set and enforce recipe standardization, portion control, plating standards and consistency across every cover served
