About the role

GreenUGo is building a healthy food concept in Ahmedabad. We are looking for a hands-on chef to develop and prepare flavourful vegetarian and non-vegetarian bowls, wraps, grilled proteins, snacks, smoothies, fresh juices and protein beverages.

You will lead daily kitchen preparation and quality, guide the kitchen associate and work with management on menus and food costs. Management retains responsibility for staffing, budgets, pricing and business decisions.

Your responsibilities

- Cooking and consistency. Prepare food and beverages to agreed recipes, portions, presentation and service times. Use Indian and international flavours suited to our customers.

- Recipes and menu development. Document ingredient weights, preparation methods, yields and portion sizes. Test seasonal dishes and snacks; agree new recipes and material substitutions with management before service.

- Costing and stock. Calculate recipe and portion costs, forecast ingredient needs, check deliveries and maintain stock and waste records. Rotate stock by expiry and freshness.

- Food safety. Follow food-safety and HACCP principles, temperature checks, cleaning and sanitising procedures. Separate raw and ready-to-eat foods and follow approved vegetarian/non-vegetarian handling procedures.

- Allergens and ingredient information. Keep accurate ingredient and allergen records, prevent cross-contact and communicate substitutions. Use only approved nutritional information; do not make unsupported health or dietary claims.

- Daily operations. Plan prep and service, guide the associate and complete opening/closing checks. Report unsafe food, equipment faults or staffing problems promptly so management can adjust service safely.

What you bring

- Skilled kitchen experience.



Proven practical experience preparing relevant meals and beverages, with the ability to organise daily production and deliver consistent quality.

- Commercial skills. Confidence with recipe costing, ingredient yields, portion control, purchasing requirements and waste reduction.

- Food safety and teamwork. Sound hygiene and allergen knowledge, clear communication, reliability and the ability to train and support a colleague.

- Helpful experience. Healthy food outlets, salad bars, modern cafés or kitchens using documented recipes. Culinary qualifications and food-handling certification are preferred; strong practical ability is valued.

- Communication. Ability to follow written recipes and discuss kitchen requirements clearly. Working English and Hindi or Gujarati are useful.

Working schedule

8 working hours a day, plus a 30-minute meal/rest break, across 6 days a week: 48 working hours and one paid weekly day off on a rotating roster. The break will be scheduled within 5 consecutive working hours. Total scheduled time on site is 8.5 hours per working day.

Shifts may include weekends and public holidays, with applicable entitlements. Shift timings will be shared in advance. Any authorised overtime is recorded and paid separately in accordance with applicable law. Joining date and exact workplace address will be discussed during selection.

Send your CV, a brief summary of relevant kitchen experience, current city, contact number and earliest joining date. Food photographs or a menu portfolio are optional; share only material you are entitled to share, without a previous employer’s confidential recipes.

Selection process

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview and a practical assessment covering preparation, hygiene, presentation, portion control and a simple recipe-costing exercise. Tasks, duration and any payment arrangements will be explained in advance.

Selection is based on job-related skills, experience and suitability. Relevant experience gained in India or abroad is welcome.
