We usually respond within two weeks
Foodles is the leader in smart office canteen solutions. We provide a unique, flexible and sustainable alternative to traditional office canteens and B2B catering solutions.
We deliver chef-prepared, balanced meals via smart fridges installed in offices around London. Employees can enjoy healthy cooked meals on site 24/7. This is not only an incredible perk (when paired with a meal subsidy) to attract and retain employees, but also a solution that allows employers to meet their CSR commitments, especially on delivery and food waste.
Created in France in 2015, Foodles has raised £40m so far and is now expanding in the UK to become the European leader for next generation B2B canteens! To support our growth on the food production side, we are hiring a Chef de Partie.
Your mission:
As a chef de partie you get to oversee a section of the kitchen, be it butchery, fish, sauces, vegetables and so on depending on experience and business needs.
Due to our rapid growth and seven-day-a-week operation, we're seeking chefs who are adaptable with their schedules, particularly for occasional weekend shifts when necessary.
Your responsibilities:
- Preparing and cooking dishes within your speciality according to strict recipe specifications from our R&D team
- Managing and training any demi-chef de parties or commis working with you
- Ensuring you and your team have high standards of food hygiene and follow the rules of health and safety
- Monitoring portion and waste control to maintain standard and consistency.
- Check on the labels and allergens.
- Helping the sous-chef and head chef to develop new recipes and menus

Other useful qualifications include:
- Level 2 food safety, health & safety and allergens training.
