About

Description

As cooks, we prepare the dishes and meals according to the customers’ orders and recipes. We are responsible for ensuring on-time food delivery without compromising the flavor and taste of the dishes. We set up the cooking stations and ensure that the workstation has every cooking equipment and ingredient available. Our duties include preparing the ingredients by peeling and chopping the vegetables and meats. In addition, we use different grillers and utensils for cooking the recipes. We continuously check food while cooking by stirring and turning them around.

Core tasks:

  • ensuring proper presentation of the recipes
  • keeping the kitchens sanitized and clean
  • monitoring the stocks and supplies in the kitchens
