• Managing the Food Safety Management System and ensuring the team understands and implements it.
• Scheduling cleaning and maintenance routines for all food service areas and kitchen equipment to maintain high sanitation and safety standards.
• Carrying out risk assessments and maintaining a clean kitchen to a high standard.
• Assisting with the supervision and development of staff.
