**About the Role**
PhuketFit is a structured health and fitness retreat in Rawai, Phuket. Our onsite restaurant is part of the guest results system. It is a calorie-controlled, macro-controlled performance nutrition kitchen serving program guests only.

We are hiring a Head Chef to lead the full Food & Beverage operation. This is not a traditional restaurant, hotel, or fine-dining chef role. Success is measured by consistency, hygiene, nutritional accuracy, and the standard of service guests receive. Every gram matters. Every meal matters. Every day matters.

**Your Scope**
You will own the entire F&B department at PhuketFit, covering three operational areas:
• The indoor kitchen: preparation, cooking, plating, storage, hygiene, and recipe execution.
• The outdoor restaurant: front-of-house service, guest experience, cleanliness, food delivery, and waiter standards.
• The future PhuketFit staff canteen: planning, setup, and ongoing management.
The Restaurant / F&B Supervisor reports directly to you and manages the waiting team. You set the standards. You are accountable for the whole department.

**How the Role Works**
The Head Coach calculates calories and macros for every dish. You execute the approved recipes precisely. You are actively encouraged to suggest improvements to dishes, flavour, and presentation, but all changes go through a structured approval process before reaching the guest. Once approved, recipes are followed exactly. No estimation, no improvisation, no shortcuts during service.

**Core Responsibilities**
• Recipe and nutritional precision: enforce 100% recipe compliance, weighed and verified ingredients, and protected calorie and macro integrity in every meal.
• Kitchen and restaurant operations: run a spotless, organised, efficient operation across kitchen and front-of-house. Build systems that hold the same standard when you are not on shift.
• Team leadership: lead and develop the kitchen team and, through the Restaurant Supervisor, the service team. Set clear standards. Hold the team accountable fairly and consistently.
• HACCP, hygiene, and dietary standards: full HACCP across storage, prep, cooking, holding, labelling, and cleaning. Strict separation for Halal, vegetarian, vegan, and allergen procedures.
• Inventory, cost, and systems: manage stock, suppliers, waste, and budget across the F&B department. Maintain documentation that keeps the operation repeatable and scalable.
• Cooking classes and cross-team coordination: support guest cooking classes and work closely with the coaching, fitness, and reception teams.

**Non-Negotiables**
• 100% approved recipe compliance and ingredient measurement accuracy during service.
• No unauthorised recipe, ingredient, or portion changes under any circumstances.
• Zero tolerance for poor hygiene or unsafe food handling, anywhere in the F&B operation.
• Strict separation of Halal, vegetarian, vegan, and allergen procedures.
• Consistent kitchen and restaurant performance with or without the Head Chef physically present.
• Professional, attentive, and consistent guest service from the F&B team at all times.

**What We Are Looking For**
Essential
• Fluent professional English, both spoken and written. English is the working language of PhuketFit and is required for daily communication with management, the wider team, and international guests, as well as for all recipes, systems, and documentation.
• Proven experience as a Head Chef, Senior Sous Chef, or equivalent kitchen leader in a disciplined, systems-driven environment.
• Strong leadership across both kitchen and restaurant service teams.
• Solid working knowledge of HACCP, food safety, and kitchen organisation.
• Highly detail-oriented and comfortable in a strict measurement and portion-control environment.

Strongly Preferred
• Experience in nutrition-focused, health-based, portion-controlled, or performance-led kitchens.
• Experience managing both back-of-house and front-of-house in a single integrated F&B operation.

This Role Will Not Suit Someone Who...
• Wants complete creative freedom without recipe approval.
• Prefers freestyle cooking or estimating portions during service.
• Sees front-of-house service standards as someone else's responsibility.
• Cannot maintain standards when the operation is busy or under pressure.

**Why Join PhuketFit?**
You will lead an F&B operation that directly contributes to guest health, fitness, and lifestyle results. You will work in a unique retreat environment with structure and purpose, build the systems that scale a healthy and growing business, and collaborate with coaches and nutrition professionals to shape the guest experience.

**How to Apply**
Send your CV and a short cover note including:
• Your current location and availability to start.
• Your expected salary or package range.
• Your experience leading kitchen teams and managing restaurant or F&B service operations.
• Your experience with HACCP, healthy cooking, and dietary segregation.
