**Head Chef / Production Chef
**Dine Nation | Limassol, Cyprus | Full-time | Salary from €3000
Dine Nation is a Limassol-based B2B catering company. We cook breakfasts and lunches for office teams — with the care of homemade food, the discipline of production, and the standards of a modern food brand. Our kitchen follows established food safety and quality procedures, and the company holds ISO certification.
We’re looking for a strong Head Chef to lead our kitchen and keep the standards our partners rely on every day.**
About the role
**You will lead the kitchen and take responsibility for the food that leaves it: taste, appearance, portion size, consistency, safety, and overall quality.
We need a chef who can combine creativity and structure — someone who can create menus, understand seasonality, work with Mediterranean and European food, and confidently cook Slavic dishes when needed.
This person should also be comfortable leading a professional kitchen team, keeping processes clear, working with customer feedback, and maintaining the standards of a modern production kitchen.**
Key responsibilities
● **Manage daily breakfast and lunch production for office clients.
● Create menus with seasonality, variety, and production logic in mind.
● Create and maintain recipe cards.
● Control taste, weight, appearance, portioning, and final output.
● Keep the kitchen structured, disciplined, clean, and calm under pressure.
● Lead, coordinate, and support the kitchen team.
● Work according to hygiene, storage, HACCP, and ISO-based standards.
● Coordinate with the supplier manager on product needs and kitchen planning.
● Use internal digital systems and computer-based records as part of daily kitchen work.**
Key requirements
● **At least 2 years of experience as a Head Chef.
● Experience in catering, dark kitchen, delivery, production kitchen, or a similar format.
● Ability to create and maintain recipe cards.
● Comfortable working with digital tools, internal kitchen systems, and computer-based records.
● Understanding of allergens, ingredients, and nutritional calculations.
● Knowledge of hygiene, storage, HACCP and/or ISO-based standards.
● Languages: Fluent Russian and English (B1 or higher) are required.
● Ability to lead, explain, control, and take responsibility.
A strong sous-chef background is valuable, but for this role we need someone who has already carried full responsibility for a kitchen.
**What we offer
● P**ermanent Head Chef position with an official employment contract.
● Salary from €3000, depending on experience and interview results.
● Flexible bonus system based on clear performance results.
● Work schedule: 6/1 (working day starts at 6:00).
● Two-month probation period.
● Work visa support for eligible candidates. Relocation costs are not covered.
● A friendly, respectful team and a company that values long-term relationships with strong people.
