looking for a wide variety of restaurants; but they must be genuinely looking to hire a new Head Chef. They said: “This is a great opportunity for the restaurant to have Chefs competing to work at their restaurant. It will give them the opportunity to test out the chefs culinary and business skills before they hire them!” They are also looking for Chefs themselves to compete for the said job of Head Chef, and are also casting for Chefs across the country to take part. So if you are looking to make the next step up the career ladder you can apply for the role here: https://www.shortaudition.com/For-Hire-Chefs
