Junior Sous Chef – Metafoodies Group, Dubai

Metafoodies Group, the Dubai-based hospitality collective behind Bisou, ALBA Restaurant, ALBA Street, and Himitsu, is looking for a driven Junior Sous Chef to join its culinary team. This role is ideal for a chef who has already built a solid foundation in a busy, high-volume kitchen and is ready to step into a leadership position supporting the Sous Chef and Head Chef across daily operations. You’ll help run sections, mentor junior chefs, and ensure every dish leaving the pass reflects the group’s exacting standards, whether that’s Bisou’s French-Middle Eastern fusion, ALBA’s Pan-Asian and European “Mediterrasian” menu, or Himitsu’s Japanese-inspired plates. If you thrive under pressure, take pride in consistency, and want to grow your career across some of Dubai’s most talked-about restaurant concepts, we’d love to hear from you.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Support the Sous Chef and Head Chef in overseeing daily kitchen operations across sections.
• Supervise and coordinate Chef de Partie and Commis Chef teams during service.
• Maintain consistency in plating, portioning, and quality of every dish leaving the kitchen.
• Monitor stock levels, ordering, and stores rotation to minimize waste.
• Enforce HACCP food safety and hygiene standards throughout the kitchen.

Requirements

• Minimum 2–3 years of experience in a similar role within a busy, high-volume restaurant.
• Solid understanding of kitchen operations, food costing, and inventory management.
• Strong leadership and communication skills to guide junior kitchen staff.
• Valid food safety/hygiene certification (or willingness to obtain one).
• Ability to work under pressure during peak service hours.
