Sous Chef Savoury Le Café LPM

Le Café LPM is a neighbourhood café for the modern city, where French Riviera spirit meets everyday urban life. All-day dining, done beautifully. Croissants made properly. Fish grilled simply. Spritzes that feel like a terrace in July. Nothing overcomplicated. Everything just right.

We are looking for a Sous Chef Savoury to own that.

Your Role

You support the Head Chef in managing the savoury kitchen - overseeing preparation, quality, and the team across all services. You are accountable for day-to-day discipline, mise en place, service pace, food safety, and consistency. When the Head Chef is not there, you are.

Your Profile

5-7 years of kitchen experience, with at least 2-3 years as a Sous Chef or senior cook in a French or European fine dining or all-day dining restaurant.

Deep knowledge of French and Mediterranean cuisine techniques, sauces, and plating. Food safety certification, HACCP knowledge, and allergen awareness required.

English is a must. French or another European language, even better.

Your Impacts

Mediterranean Techniques: French and Mediterranean cuisine is your foundation - sauces, plating, technique - applied with precision and lightness across every dish.

Leadership: You manage, motivate, and develop the kitchen brigade. You maintain discipline and efficiency during peak service and stepping up to lead confidently in the Head Chef’s absence.

Service Leadership & Pace: You support the pass, manage ticket flow, communicate with FOH, and keep the kitchen focused across breakfast, lunch, and dinner - consistent from the first cover to the last.

Food Safety & Quality: You own HACCP discipline, allergen control, temperature logs, and hygiene standards, and ensure every dish meets the standard for taste, presentation, and consistency.

Cost Management: You assist with inventory, portion control, waste reduction, and supplier liaison. You keep quality high and costs in check.

Why join Le Café LPM

Real ownership of a culinary concept from day one. Visibility across a growing, internationally recognised group. The chance to build something with people who take the simple things seriously.

Competitive compensation. A package designed around a life that also exists outside the kitchen.
