Job Description
We are currently seeking an experienced and technically strong Sous Chef — Savoury to support the Head Chef at Le Café LPM. Part of the La Petite Maison family, Le Café is a vibrant all-day dining concept in Dubai where French-Mediterranean cuisine is served across breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a fast-paced, quality-driven environment.
This is a role for a confident kitchen leader who leads by example, maintains high standards under pressure, and takes genuine pride in the food that leaves their section.
The Role
Working directly alongside the Head Chef, you will co-lead the savoury kitchen through daily service — overseeing food preparation, guiding the brigade, and ensuring every dish meets Le Café LPM’s standards for taste, consistency, and presentation. You will be a steady and reliable presence for the team, and a trusted deputy when the Head Chef is away.
Your Profile
Experience & Technical Skills
You bring a minimum of 5–7 years of professional kitchen experience, including at least 2–3 years as a Sous Chef or senior cook in a French or European fine dining or upscale all‑day dining restaurant. You have a deep knowledge of classic and contemporary French cuisine techniques, sauces, and plating, and you’re comfortable managing multiple service periods in a fast‑paced environment.
You assist the Head Chef in managing the kitchen brigade, including training and supervising junior cooks and commis chefs. You know how to maintain team motivation, discipline, and efficiency during peak service hours, and you’re fully capable of stepping in to lead the kitchen confidently in the Head Chef’s absence.
Menu Execution & Quality Control
You ensure all dishes meet the restaurant’s high standards for taste, presentation, and consistency. You oversee food preparation, portion control, and plating techniques specific to French cuisine, and you monitor kitchen stations to maintain hygiene, orderliness, and compliance with health and safety regulations.
Operational Skills & Cost Management
You have a solid understanding of inventory management, ordering processes, and supplier liaison to maintain ingredient quality and reduce waste. You assist with budgeting and cost control related to food and labour, and you ensure kitchen equipment is properly maintained and operationally ready at all times.
What We Offer
Compensation: 10,000 AED basic + 5,400 AED housing & transport allowance per month.
✨ Staff discounts at LPM Restaurants and sister properties.
️ Duty Meals: Enjoy a meal during every shift.
️ Time Off: 2 days off per week + 22 days annual leave + public holidays.
✈️ Annual return flight ticket to your home destination.
Growth Opportunities: Real career progression within a growing international brand, with the possibility to move across our global venues.
