We are excited to recruit a number of Chef De Parties to be part of our new Market Kitchen concept, joining at the very beginning of its journey.

Market Kitchen is a brand new food service concept for Morrisons and is based within our busy stores. The new launch follows the successful launches within Manchester, Edgbaston, Camden & Canning Town. 

Market Kitchen will use ingredients straight from our famous Market Street to create delicious and affordable meals for customers. Customers can either wait for food to be prepared by our chefs, pick it up in pre-packed portions, or order food from home via Deliveroo. Our food offering will be trend driven and often reacting to consumer behaviors and feedback and will offer tasty dishes on the go at affordable prices. 

As a Chef De Partie you will prepare Market Kitchen products from scratch to specification using appropriate equipment and applying food making skills.  Your role will be varied, some days working on prep, and others live cooking in front our customers, no day will ever be the same!  You should be seeking a challenge, and used to managing lots of tasks at once.

You will ensure customer confidence in good quality dishes, produced in applicable timelines, maintaining quality, fresh and attractive displays of food. Chef De Parties will have responsibility for their own workstation food production and achieve KPIs in Sales, Food, Health & Safety & responding to customer feedback. 

As part of your role you will contribute your thoughts and feedback to the development of the annual Store plan by identifying opportunities, using your knowledge of the products and what our customers love, which will maximise the Kitchen performance. You will be working in an open plan kitchen that is visible to our guests and you will be communicating directly with our customers.

You will listen to the customer’s feedback and use local knowledge of customer trading patterns to predict volumes of orders and prepare ingredients accordingly. 

Part of your role will be working with colleagues in the Market Kitchen to deliver outstanding, friendly and helpful service helping to remove barriers as well as taking ownership for delivering menus to the highest spec
