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.

Perks and benefits

Free meal, Free Accommodation
