Head Chef

As a Head Chef at Olivia Torget, you have total operational responsibility for the entire kitchen and report to the Operations Manager.

We work every day to be, not only a great experience for our guests, but also a great place to work for all.

Our work culture is value-based. We are characterized by a strong sense of community, as well as pride in having established ourselves as one of Norway’s most popular restaurants.

The managers at Olivia are motivated, ambitious, structured, and detail-oriented, but also strong relationship builders. Quality conscious, accurate and with the ability to see the big picture, you as a manager must have the ability to do that.

As the leader of a large team, you are dependent on being able to motivate, see and develop your own employees.

We envision that the right candidate has a leading position in a kitchen today but wants new challenges in an organization with strong growth.

We have a general basic idea that everyone who works hard and shows commitment, should have the opportunity to develop with Olivia.

The Head Chef’s responsibility includes:

• Ensuring that all food served is in accordance with Olivia’s standard (calcmenu) in terms of taste, quality, appearance, temperature, and quantity.
• Ensuring that all food served has been prepared and served in line with IK-mat (documentation and quality assurance tool for food).
• Daily operation of the kitchen and pizza kitchen.
• Provide training to the leader team regarding budget control, food cost, seasonal menu changes and allergens requirements.
• Lead and manage the kitchen team, fostering a culture of growth, development, and performance within the department.
• Administrative responsibility, including recruitment, training, and follow-up

We look for candidates with the following qualifications:

• You have at least 2 years’ experience from a professional kitchen with high pace
• Are a motivated, ambitious, structured, and detail-oriented leader
• Are highly organized and structured.
• You get motivated by seeing others evolve and you enjoy team building.
• Are loyal to policies, processes, and guidelines.

Since Olivia is rapidly expanding, a position within Olivia gives the possibility to get more challenges and possibilities than is normal for other restaurants.
