Commis Chef I, II & III — Bakery & Continental

Three levels, one kitchen. Whether you're starting out or ready to own a section, tell us your level and we'll place you accordingly.

About the role

We're hiring commis chefs across all three levels for our Bakery and Continental sections. Whichever level you join at, you'll be part of a kitchen that takes technique seriously and trains people up rather than burning them out.

Not sure which level you fit? Apply anyway and tell us your experience on the form — we'll place you where you'll do best.

What you'll do — all levels

  • Assist in food preparation, cooking and presentation to our standards
  • Maintain hygiene, sanitation and safety standards in the kitchen at all times
  • Store, label and rotate ingredients properly using the FIFO method
  • Support senior chefs with mise-en-place and daily operations
  • Contribute ideas for menu development, specials and presentation
  • Keep to portion control, consistency and timely execution of orders

What we're looking for

  • Prior experience in Continental and/or Bakery preferred
  • Culinary diploma or relevant certification is an advantage
  • Strong passion for food and a willingness to learn
  • Able to work in a fast-paced environment with a positive attitude
  • Team player with strong communication and discipline

The three levels

Commis I — Senior Commis

Take ownership of your assigned section, Continental or Bakery. Supervise and guide junior commis, prepare sauces, gravies, pastries and breads with precision, monitor cooking for quality and consistency, and act as second line of support to the Chef de Partie.

Commis II

Independently handle basic preparation and cooking for assigned dishes, assist Commis I and the CDP on complex preparations, make sure mise-en-place is ready for service, and follow recipes and plating guidelines accurately.

Commis III — Entry level

Carry out basic kitchen tasks — chopping, cleaning, mixing, portioning. Support seniors in daily production and service, learn and practise Continental and Bakery techniques, and keep your workstation clean and stock organised.

You'll be trained by the people who own the place

Adam Kissinger is one of very few SCA-authorised coffee trainers in India, and he trains the Overflow team himself. Whatever role you join in, you'll learn the craft to an international standard from people who are in the building every day.
