Job details:
KUP built its name on great coffee. The next chapter is food, and we want a chef who'll make our menu as talked-about as our cups.
KUP Coffee Roasters started in January 2023. We now run two big cafés and a few small outlets. We're looking for one senior chef to own all the food across the cafés: the menu, the kitchens, the chefs and the numbers.
Compensation: ₹1,00,000 per month. Relocation support available.
What you'll own
- Building a proper breakfast and lunch menu, not just snacks to go with coffee
- Creating two or three hero dishes people come back for
- Bringing all our food under one clear KUP identity
- Setting up food costing, wastage control and recipe standards from scratch
- Keeping quality and consistency the same across every outlet, and leading and training the kitchen teams
- Reading the Chennai market: familiar classics, done better, with a twist
Who we want
- 5+ years in independent or specialty cafés, with experience in Mumbai or Bangalore a strong plus
- Proof that you've launched café dishes that became repeat orders
- Experience running more than one kitchen or outlet
- Please don't apply if your background is mainly five-star hotels or fine dining. This is café food.
To apply, answer these three questions
1. Name a café dish you created that became a repeat order, and say why it worked.
2. How do you control food cost and wastage across more than one outlet?
3. Look at KUP's menu online. Tell us one dish you'd add and one you'd fix.
