At The Fresh Factory, we've always believed that outstanding food begins with outstanding ingredients. We're looking for a Head Chef to lead our Lucknow kitchen — someone who understands that cooking is as much about curiosity, creativity and respect for ingredients as it is about technique. We're not a conventional restaurant. Our approach is ingredient-first, seasonal, and rooted in making thoughtful food that tastes exceptional.

What You'll Do
• Assist in leading day-to-day kitchen operations and ensure smooth service execution
• Maintain consistency, quality, portioning, and presentation standards across all menu items
• Support menu development, product innovation, and seasonal launches
• Train, mentor, and develop kitchen team members
• Oversee food costing, inventory management, purchasing, wastage and resource optimisation.




• Maintain and analyse operational reports, track key performance metrics and implement improvements to kitchen efficiency and profitability. What we're looking for:
• Robust culinary fundamentals and a creative, experimental mindset.
• A deep understanding of ingredients, seasonality, sourcing and modern cooking techniques.
• Experience leading kitchen teams, maintaining consistency and building a culture of learning.
• Ability to drive menu innovation, recipe standardisation, food costs and kitchen operations.
• Someone who enjoys challenging conventions and bringing fresh perspectives to the table.
