This position suits chefs with a professional background of at least 3 to 5 years of experience, possessing formal culinary training or certification. The role requires excellent time management and organizational skills to juggle multiple client needs efficiently, and the ability to maintain a professional demeanor in all communications. The work averages between 15 and 25 hours per week with core working hours set from Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including occasional weekend shifts if necessary.
