Commis Chef – Common Grounds, Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi

Common Grounds, the specialty coffee and healthy-eats brand from the EATX family, is opening its first Abu Dhabi location at Yas Mall, and we’re looking for a Commis Chef to join our founding kitchen team. Known across Dubai for its fresh salad bowls, wraps, all-day breakfast, and freshly ground coffee, Common Grounds is built on quality, consistency, and a genuine love of good food. As Commis Chef, you’ll support senior chefs with food preparation, mise en place, and maintaining a clean, organized station, while learning the ropes of a professional, fast-paced kitchen. This is an ideal entry point for someone early in their culinary career who wants structured training and the chance to grow with a brand new to Abu Dhabi.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Assist chefs de partie with basic food preparation, chopping, and mise en place.
  • Follow recipes and presentation standards under the guidance of senior chefs.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation at all times.
  • Help with receiving, storing, and rotating kitchen stock.
  • Support the wider kitchen team during busy service periods.

Requirements

  • Culinary certificate/diploma or equivalent hands-on kitchen experience.
  • Basic knowledge of food hygiene, knife skills, and kitchen equipment.
  • Eagerness to learn and grow within a professional kitchen environment.
  • Good physical stamina to handle a fast-paced kitchen environment.
  • Team-oriented attitude with strong attention to detail.

About Common Grounds

Common Grounds is part of the EATX family of hospitality concepts, known for creating neighborhood cafes that combine premium, healthful ingredients with genuine community connection. With an established presence across Dubai — including Mall of the Emirates, DIFC, JLT, JBR Beach, Dubai Hills Mall, UPSIDE, and Kite Beach — Common Grounds is now expanding into Abu Dhabi with a new location at Yas Mall.

Benefits

  • Be part of the founding team for a highly anticipated new Abu Dhabi opening.
  • Work with a well-established, growing hospitality brand backed by EATX.
  • Structured, hands-on training within a professional culinary brigade.
  • A collaborative, people-first culture that values community and personality.
  • A clear growth path from Commis toward Demi Chef de Partie and beyond.
