Chef de Cuisine

Job description

Looking for a Chef de Cuisine to join the founders’ office @ Rebel Foods. (no, not a Founders’ pantry) First, what's the founders’ office? It is the place where things are founded — moonshots get conceived and tomorrow’s businesses are seeded. Rebel’s Culinary Innovation Center works hand in hand with FO, so an idea can travel from conversation to plate quickly. One such idea is taking shape as we speak. An idea whose time has come — at the intersection of incredibly delicious food and the mindfulness of eating healthy. Here, we want to be borderless in creativity, experimenting with and innovating around global + Indian cuisines, sometimes following trends and other times setting them. And every dish has to do two things at once. It has to be worth remembering — the smell as it arrives, the first bite, wanting a little more of it. And it has to do right by the person eating it: steady energy, real repair, kind to the gut. Everything fresh, terrific ingredients, and nothing artificial. Getting both right, with food from around the world, is a hard challenge. And one worth solving. The initial pilot has shown tremendous results, and now we are working to bring it to life for the wider world. Like most things at Rebel, we won’t be bound by the typical restaurant operation. Daily/weekly changing menu? Drops? Whatever it is, it would always strive to create a little bit of magic, one dish at a time. We need someone to lead this madness, with a bit of method. A Chef de Cuisine who is full of ideas, doesn’t want to be boxed in by tradition, and knows how to bring those ideas to the plate. And is loved by the team. But like all super creatives, the Chef must have foundational, real-world expertise in global cuisines — Pan-Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Continental — preferably at a place known for world-class quality. At the same time, s/he should enter the kitchen every time with the intent to create something magical, similar to when an artist picks up her paint and brush, or a musician sits at the piano. We are not looking for decades of experience as a CDC, but for someone who is hungry to become one and leave their mark on a large culinary canvas — across Rebel’s network of 130+ cities in India, the Middle East, and the UK. S/he will work with Rebel's Exec. Chef vijay + the founders' office in Mumbai. We are looking for • The above culinary skill/mindset • The ability to lead a team through a demanding kitchen day • The culture fit. Please go through this: https://bit.ly/45NHnqc Kindly apply by clicking the "Apply" section by filling the form and required details and answering the below questions in a 2 pager format or simple video. 1) What makes you the Chef we are looking for 2) What's your favorite restaurant and why 3) What are the dishes that you are super proud of creating (think wisely, as you would be cooking one of those in our innovation center as part of the process) Please share with your network/someone who may be a good fit. Someone whose cooking you can’t forget, maybe?
