About This Role
This role goes beyond cooking — it’s about running a private household kitchen with the discipline of a commercial operation. As Senior Chef for a residence tied to a major trading company, you’ll manage daily meal production, menu planning, and staff coordination, likely serving executives or high-profile guests. It suits a chef who thrives on consistency, attention to detail, and the autonomy of a smaller, more intimate kitchen environment.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The employer is seeking someone with technical culinary training and at least 3–5 years of hands-on kitchen experience, but the real emphasis is on leadership and operational control. They value a chef who can train junior staff, control food costs, and maintain hygiene standards without constant oversight — essentially a self-sufficient kitchen manager who also cooks.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should highlight experience in menu development, cost management, and supervising a kitchen team, especially in a residential or boutique hospitality setting. Emphasize your ability to maintain high food quality with limited resources and your track record in food safety compliance — these are likely top priorities for a private residence kitchen.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for an experienced chef who prefers a stable, non-corporate kitchen environment with direct impact on daily operations. It is moderately competitive, given the niche nature of residential chef positions in Addis Ababa.
