Things to consider

  • Professional kitchens are busy, demanding spaces where you’ll need to work quickly, stay organised, and respond to instructions efficiently. Commis chefs are expected to support the production of dishes to order and on time 
  • You must follow strict hygiene, allergen, and food safety procedures at all times, from receiving and storing ingredients to producing and holding food. This includes completing temperature checks and log 
  • Kitchens typically operate across weekdays, evenings, and weekends. You must be prepared for shift patterns that may differ week to week
