Commis Chef

Commis Chefs support Head Chefs in a kitchen. They have generally completed formal training to work as a Chef but don’t have enough experience yet to work in a more senior role, and may still be undergoing on-the-job training in particular techniques, processes or types of cuisine. Their day-to-day tasks will depend on the type of kitchen they work in, but will generally include preparing ingredients, executing certain cooking methods under the instruction of the Head Chef, and handling stock and deliveries. Commis Chefs work in restaurants and other hospitality settings, such as in hotels or on cruise ships. They often work evenings and weekends.
