Job Description
SOUS CHEF – THE BUNGALOW GALLE FORT
Location: Galle Fort, Sri Lanka
Contract: Full-time
Fast-Paced | High-Volume | Structure-Driven
The Bungalow Galle Fort operates as a stand-alone, high-demand restaurant with a clear focus on execution, consistency, and service quality. We’re known for doing things properly—from prep to plate—and we maintain strong systems to support that standard.
We’re now looking for a disciplined, capable Sous Chef to work closely with our Group Executive Chef in leading the kitchen. This is not just a cooking role—it’s a hands-on leadership position in a fast-moving, independently managed kitchen that values structure, communication, and steady control during service.
Who We’re Looking For
You’re someone who leads from the front—calm under pressure, consistent in your work, and professional in your approach.
We encourage you to apply if you:
- Have a solid background in high-volume restaurants, with a proven ability to stay composed and deliver under pressure.
- Know how to manage people, delegate tasks efficiently, and maintain smooth service in a dynamic kitchen.
- Respect structure and teamwork—you’ll work directly under our Group Executive Chef and be responsible for implementing clear kitchen standards.
- Are confident working across both Western and Asian menus, or quick to adapt.
- Take pride in cleanliness, discipline, and punctuality.
- Understand that reliability, not talk, is what earns long-term respect in a professional kitchen.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Oversee daily kitchen operations and maintain a steady, organized flow of service.
- Ensure all dishes meet presentation and taste standards—without compromise.
- Mentor and train junior team members to help them grow and maintain consistency.
- Uphold food safety, prep discipline, and hygiene protocols at all times.
- Be an active part of service—especially during peak periods.
- Work in sync with both BOH and FOH to support a seamless guest experience.
What We Offer
- A Structured, Professional Kitchen Run by a Group Executive Chef who values systems, clear expectations, and a supportive leadership style.
- An Independent, High-Standards Environment This is not a hotel kitchen or franchise setup—it’s a standalone restaurant with a serious, service-driven culture.
- Competitive Compensation A strong base salary and generous service charge share, driven by consistent footfall.
- Room to Grow For the right individual, this is a career opportunity within a wider group—not just a job.
- A Workplace That Respects Professionalism We value chefs who take pride in their work, show up prepared, and raise the standard for those around them.
How to Apply
If this sounds like the kind of environment you’d thrive in, we’d like to hear from you.
