THE ROLE

This is not a traditional kitchen role. As our Development Chef, you’ll lead the creation of a delivery-first menu that balances flavour, nutrition, consistency, and operational speed.
You’ll design dishes that work as beautifully in a delivery container as they do in a bowl, ensuring every bite is Instagram-worthy and nutritionist-approved. You’ll think about packaging, rider journeys, prep times, and customer reviews — because in the delivery world, every detail matters.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Craft nutrient-rich, flavour-packed salad recipes that travel well and delight customers.
• Develop dishes that balance taste, health, and operational feasibility for dark kitchens and delivery hubs.
• Build recipes into scalable formats that can be rolled out across multiple sites.
• Work with packaging and suppliers to ensure quality, freshness, and presentation survive the delivery journey.
• Collaborate with operations and finance teams on costings, margins, and waste reduction.
• Research food and delivery trends to keep the menu ahead of the curve.
• Create training manuals, prep guides, and plating instructions to ensure consistent execution.
• Act as the bridge between creative food development and commercial delivery success.
