Sous Chef
Brava Hospitality Group
Sous Chef, Prezzo Italian
The Head Chef's right hand, and
the steady pair of hands every kitchen needs.
You can't miss Prezzo Italian
right now. Our refurbished restaurants look stunning, with more on the way, and
the food has never been better. Guests are noticing and the momentum is real.
Now we need Sous Chefs who lead by example and are ready to grow into Head
Chefs.
Who we are
Brava Hospitality Group is the
home of great restaurant brands. We're the group behind Prezzo Italian, in
towns and cities right across the UK, and a collection of much-loved central
London restaurants: Jamie's Italian, Riding House Café, Nessa, Yasmin, Mortimer
House Kitchen and, most recently, Bolo by Gennaro. And we're growing the
footprint of every one of our brands. We're restaurant people at heart, and we
believe every guest deserves brilliant food and exceptional hospitality from
teams who love what they do.
Prezzo Italian has been bringing
the Italian classics to towns and cities across the UK since 2000. For our 25th
birthday we gave it a fresh start: a brand-new look, beautifully redesigned
restaurants, and a menu built around the dishes people love, made fresh and
cooked properly. Prezzo Italian is the home of the Italian classics.
We're a business on the way up,
and the people who join us now will shape where it goes next.
The role
As Sous Chef at Prezzo Italian,
you're your Head Chef's right hand. You run shifts in the kitchen, keep
standards high on every section, and take charge when your Head Chef isn't
there.
At Prezzo Italian, it all comes
down to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Every
guest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That starts
with how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have fun
together and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember and
come back for. As Sous Chef, you help set that tone on every shift.
Food is one of our key pillars,
so you'll have the right tools to get it right every time. Our dedicated chefs
website shows exactly what every dish should look like and the right
ingredients that go into it, and some of our restaurants use QSR kitchen technology
to keep every order flowing.
With your Head Chef and our
central team of chefs behind you, this is the place to learn what it takes to
run your own kitchen.
What you'll be responsible for
Leading the kitchen
- Run the pass and lead shifts with confidence.
- Train and coach the team, helping develop the chefs of
tomorrow.
- Step up and run the kitchen in your Head Chef's
absence.
Cooking the Italian classics
properly
- Make sure every dish is made fresh, cooked properly and
plated to spec.
- Jump on any section when it's needed.
- Work closely with front of house so every guest gets
the same great impression.
Keeping standards high
- Help manage ordering, stock and waste.
- Lead on food safety, allergens and health and safety,
every shift.
- Keep the kitchen clean, organised and audit-ready.
What we're looking for
Are you a Prezzo person? You're
warm, genuine and generous with your time. You love great food and you love
people even more. You make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk
in, you lift the team around you, and you take pride in getting the little
things right. You bring energy, a sense of fun, and the confidence to make the
call.
You're a Sous Chef already, or an
experienced chef who is ready for the next step.
- Experience in a busy, high-volume kitchen, including
leading shifts.
- Pride in food and consistency, on every plate.
- Calm under pressure, with a people-first approach.
- Good knowledge of food safety, allergens and health and
safety.
- Ambition to run your own kitchen one day.
