**What You'll Own**:
**1. Signature Culinary Identity**
- Design menus that are original, local-inspired, and emotionally satisfying—something guests talk about long after checkout.
- Bring soul into food: from breakfast to banquets, every dish must carry your signature.

**2. Leadership with Purpose**
- Lead, coach, and build a kitchen team that’s disciplined, respectful, and eager to learn.
- Set and maintain kitchen culture rooted in efficiency, hygiene, and pride.

- Oversee procurement, vendor relations, stock rotation, and wastage control.
- Innovate with local ingredients to keep costs smart and menus fresh.

**4. Guest-Centric Experience**
- Step out of the kitchen: interact with guests, receive feedback, and co-create memorable dining moments.
- Accommodate dietary preferences with flexibility and finesse.
- Ensure food arrives on time, every time—especially for room service and events.

**5. Brand Reputation & Innovation**
- Partner with marketing to present food that photographs beautifully and sells itself online.
- Introduce seasonal campaigns, chef’s table nights, and pop-up experiences.
- Maintain hygiene standards.

**You Are Someone Who...**
- Has atleast **5+ years** of culinary experience with **3+ years in a senior/executive chef role**.
- Understands and excels in **Indian, South Indian, Continental**, or **Fusion cuisines**.
- Believes food can **build a hotel's brand**, not just fill plates.
- Has managed kitchens for **resorts, boutique hotels, or standalone premium restaurants**.
- Leads by example, respects junior staff, and holds high standards.
- Can handle peak-season pressure without losing the soul of the dish.

**What You Get**:

- Autonomy and respect for your craft.
- Clear KPIs and performance-linked incentives.
- Accommodation (if required) + meals.
- Direct access to hotel ownership for quick decision-making.

You’re not just looking for another job. You want to **build a legacy**.
