Dear all,

It is with great pleasure that we are now opening Casino Sérendipité to the public.

At first, we did a little testing and opened for a week as a test, and we got a good base of supporters. After we had about 16 customers within 5 hours we decided we are staying for good here in Truenorth! Thank you for all waiting and participating in our opening testing! As some of you may know not only do we provide 5-star food, but we also won an award for the best commercial interior design of May 2019!

We are currently looking for new chefs as our current chef is going on maternity leave! Here are the requirements:

Responsibilities:

• You must have worked in a 5-star restaurant or Michelin star restaurant for at least 6 months.
  
• You must have been a qualified chef for over 2 years(this can include the 6 months in a 5-star restaurant).
  
• You must have passed GCSE's in Maths(grade A-C), English(grade A-B) and at least 2 other GCSEs at grade A-C.
  
• You must have achieved at least an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Food Preparation; NVQ Level 2 in Food Service; Food Preparation; Intermediate Food Hygiene.
  

As a commis, apprentice or trainee chef, you'll:

•      
  
• Get to grips with the fundamentals of cooking, such as knife skills. This may involve understanding the basic cuts (e.g. chopping, dicing, julienne and chiffonade) as well as learning how to handle ingredients correctly        
  
• Work in different sections of the kitchen, helping the chef de partie      
  
• Be responsible for food preparation and basic cooking and also learn about portion sizes     
  
• Listen to instructions and work as part of a team.    
  
• Working as a chef de partie or section chef, you'll:    
  
• Prep, cook and assemble dishes and make sure that they go out on time
  
• Be in charge of a specific section of the kitchen such as sauces, fish or pastry, so you'll need to have a sound knowledge of cooking          
  
• Assist the sous chef or head chef in developing menus         
  
• Delegate responsibilities to commis chefs or other assistants (sometimes called demi-chef or demi-chef de partie) that are helping you if you work in a large kitchen.
  

In a sous chef role, you will be the second-in-command in the kitchen and will:

• Oversee the day-to-day running of the kitchen, order food and undertake the kitchen inventory (this potentially includes budgeting)
  
• Be in charge of training and oversee hygiene and cleanliness in the kitchen
  
• Prepare and plate dishes and have an input into menu design.
  

Operating as a head chef, executive chef or chef de cuisine, you'll:

• create a vision for the cuisine; inspire your team and delegate tasks effectively; be responsible for quality control and tasting the dishes; making sure they are at the right standard and are presented correctly before they go out to the customers; recruit, motivate and manage staff, liaise with suppliers, oversee deliveries, manage the kitchen budget and design menus. You may spend less time cooking than in other chef roles.
  

Salary:

• Typical starting salaries for commis chefs are between £12,000 and £16,000.
  
• More experienced chefs, such as sous chefs, earn between £20,000 and £30,000.
  
• Head chefs can expect higher salaries of £25,000 to £55,000+.

• Overtime is allowed - 12 hours max
  
• Holidays are allowed with notice - 5 weeks over the year - 3 weeks allowed at once
