Head Chef – Unique Experiential Concept – Athens, Greece

Location: Athens, Greece

Salary: Circa A‚¬3500 gross per month.

Opening Pattern: Wednesday – Sunday (Monday/Tuesday Off)

Service: All-day opening (Brunch, Lunch, Snacking, and Dinner)

About the Opportunity

Are you a talented Chef who values storytelling as much as culinary precision? We are representing a unique concept in Athens that blends a cultural destination with an immersive gastronomic experience. We are seeking a Head Chef (or an ambitious Sous Chef ready to step up) who leads their team with humility, calm, and a disciplined approach.

This organization is building a culture based on stability, passion, and collaborative success. You will lead a dedicated brigade in a modern kitchen, executing a tailored menu that tells a unique story of Greek heritage.

The Role

* Lead with Passion: Oversee a brigade (including Sous Chef, CDPs, and Commis) with a focus on mentorship and inspiration.
* Storytelling: The concept and menu are rooted in history. This is a guest-facing role where you will engage with clients to share the “story” behind the dishes.
* Operational Excellence: Use modern technology and tools to manage shift scheduling, kitchen workflows, and stock control.
* Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with the Restaurant Manager and Chef Consultant to ensure a smooth “One Team” approach.
* Precision: Initially, you will master and train the team on specially developed recipes; subsequently, you will have the opportunity to develop and evolve the menu as the concept grows.

What We Are Looking For

* Stability: Seeking a professional looking for a long-term home rather than a seasonal stint.
* Leadership Style: A calm, friendly, and professional approach. High emotional intelligence is essential.
* Experience: Proven experience in kitchen leadership roles with a strong background in Greek cuisine.
* Skills: Strong knowledge of HACCP, cost control, and team coordination.
* Languages: Fully fluent in both Greek and English .
* Personal Style: Professional presentation (well-groomed; beards are accepted).

Why Join the Team?

This role offers a structured, supportive environment that respects your time and your professional growth:

* Competitive Compensation: Paid x14 months as per Greek law.
* Work-Life Balance: 5-day work week with 1 Sunday off per month.
* Extra Benefits: A‚¬132/month non-taxable meal tickets and private health insurance.
* Full Compliance: All overtime, bank holidays, and bonuses are paid as per legal requirements.
* Tools for Success: Modern equipment, full uniforms provided, and staff discounts.

Are you ready to spark a flame and lead a new era of hospitality?
