Commis
Chef

A Commis Chef will support the kitchen in providing the culinary offer by preparing, cooking and finishing a range of food items whilst working each section of the kitchen. Commis chefs will work as part of a kitchen brigade to ensure the quality of the food items produced meet brand, organisational and legislative requirements including the completion of food safety management documentation. They receive, check and correctly store deliveries as well as monitoring and reporting food items and stock levels. In their daily work, an employee in this occupation interacts with a team (brigade) of chefs, the wider team including front of house staff, suppliers and customers. They will also be responsible for maintaining high standards of personal, food and kitchen hygiene in their section. A Commis Chef is supervised in their work and reports to a Senior Chef. In a smaller establishment, this may be the Head Chef, while in a larger organisation using the kitchen hierarchy system, it could be a Chef de Partie.
