We are not looking for a fine-dining or highly specialised chef. We are looking for someone who cooks genuinely good food, understands local flavours, maintains consistency and takes pride in giving guests a memorable, homely dining experience. Interested candidates should apply with their current location, total cooking experience, cuisines they specialise in, current/expected salary and earliest joining date.I’d advertise at 20,000–25,000 + stay + food rather than putting a very low fixed salary. You can still negotiate based on experience, while the listing remains attractive enough to get candidates who can independently handle the kitchen.
