Executive Head Chef

25th July 2023 - Current

Currently working at Rawhides as an Executive Head Chef, this is my first role in Canada as a newcomer. Rawhides is a well-known countryside restaurant located in Stenen, with a seating capacity of 200 guests and event facilities accommodating up to 300 guests. The property also includes serviced apartments, a campground, and wedding and event facilities, making it a popular destination for both tourists and local guests.

Rawhides regularly hosts highly popular events such as car shows, comedy nights, weddings, private functions, and seasonal entertainment events, attracting large numbers of guests from across the region.

My overall responsibilities include delivering high-quality cuisine, leading and managing kitchen teams, maintaining cost efficiency, and enhancing the overall guest experience. Over the past three years, I have successfully implemented two main restaurant menus, developed a mini patisserie section, introduced SOPs and training manuals, streamlined food cost controls, and led various marketing initiatives. I also manage supplier negotiations to secure high-quality products at competitive prices while supporting operational efficiency and cost control.
