Course overview
Production Chefs prepare high-volume meals from standardised recipes, often catering to special diets in schools, care homes, or hospitals, working closely with kitchen teams, suppliers, and reporting to senior chefs or managers.
Production Chefs prepare dishes using mostly pre-prepared ingredients, including some fresh and frozen items, working in fast-paced, team-oriented kitchen environments. They apply strong organisational skills, accuracy, and attention to detail while following standard menus and operating procedures to produce food on time and often in large quantities. They are responsible for adhering to hygiene, food safety, health and safety, and fire regulations. Additionally, they prioritize sustainability and environmental best practices, as well as equity, diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing guidelines, ensuring food is prepared safely, efficiently, and to agreed specifications in challenging, time-bound settings.
