Head Chef & Beverage Manager

We are launching an elite, scratch-made culinary concept in Faisalabad and are seeking a uniquely talented and passionate All-Rounder Head Chef & Mixologist. This role demands full execution of our three core pillars from scratch: gourmet burgers (beef and chicken), precision artisan baking, and a premium signature beverage menu. You will have complete creative freedom and responsibility over both kitchen and bar stations, ensuring every element—from the burger patty to the artisan bun and the accompanying signature drink—is crafted flawlessly from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

Gourmet Burger Mastery: Develop, prepare, and grill a diverse range of premium beef and chicken fillings. This includes smashed patties, gourmet stuffed options, specialized marinades, and custom crispy chicken brines.

Artisan Baking Precision: Take full ownership of the baking station by handcrafting, proofing, and baking artisanal buns such as Brioche and Potato buns daily, maintaining strict consistency and quality.

From-Scratch Drink Mixology:
- Cold Drinks: Create and mix premium mocktails, gourmet shakes, house-made lemonades, iced coffees, and signature cold brews using custom fruit purées and scratch-made syrups.
- Hot Drinks: Master the preparation of specialty espresso-based coffees (Cappuccinos, Lattes, Flat Whites), custom hot chocolates, and specialty spiced teas or infusions.

Quality & Consistency: Uphold uncompromising standards of taste, presentation, and kitchen hygiene across all food and beverage lines.

Recipe Formulation: Accurately document ingredient metrics, track food costs, and manage stock inventory to minimize kitchen waste and optimize efficiency.

Required Qualifications

The Triple Specialty: Proven expertise combining gourmet meat grilling, professional baking techniques, and café bar mixology.

Baking & Grilling Expertise: Strong understanding of dough hydration, proofing times, beef fat-to-lean ratios, and internal meat cooking temperatures.

Beverage Craftsmanship: Skilled in espresso machine calibration, milk texturing and latte art, flavor balancing for cold drinks, and making custom syrups entirely from scratch without relying on synthetic pre-made syrups.

Leadership & Work Ethic: Energetic, organized, and capable of managing kitchen and drink orders efficiently during peak hours.

Background: Culinary degrees such as COTHM are highly valued; however, hands-on tasting trials and verifiable work history will be the ultimate deciding factors.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits

We offer a premium, top-tier salary package that reflects the unique multi-skilled nature of this role. The kitchen and café are equipped with modern, state-of-the-art equipment to support your creativity and efficiency. There are also significant growth opportunities as the brand expands.

Important Note for Applicants:
Our recruitment process is highly competitive. Shortlisted candidates will be required to participate in an extensive, hands-on kitchen and beverage trial to demonstrate their skills in artisan baking, gourmet grilling, and drink mixology before a final offer is made.

Compensation: Rs180,000 to Rs200,000 per month

Work Location: This is an in-person role based in Faisalabad.
