The posting

Head Chef – Multi-cuisine

Location: Hargeisa, Republic of Somaliland

Employment Type: Full-time (2-year contract, renewable) — On-site, Live-in (staff accommodation provided)

Salary: USD 500 Net per Month (plus accommodation, meals on duty, flights, visa/work permit, and medical cover)

Application Deadline: 30th September 2026

About the Role

Our client is opening a new multi-cuisine restaurant in Hargeisa and is seeking a skilled Head Chef to lead the kitchen, serving Italian (pizza, pasta), Indian (curries), and Chinese dishes, salads, and grills.

The Head Chef will run a halal kitchen, control food costs, and train a locally recruited kitchen team, playing a central role in the restaurant's pre-opening menu launch.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the kitchen of a new multi-cuisine restaurant.
  • Prepare and oversee dishes across Italian, Indian, and Chinese cuisines.
  • Run a halal kitchen (no pork, no alcohol in cooking).
  • Write recipe cards, portion and cost dishes accurately.
  • Control food cost across the kitchen.
  • Train and supervise locally recruited kitchen helpers.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in a hotel or high-volume restaurant kitchen.
  • Demonstrated competence across three cuisines in one kitchen, including:
  • Italian: pizza dough, arrabiata, alfredo
  • Indian: chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, korma, beef madras, fish curries
  • Chinese: crispy chilli beef, honey garlic chicken, sweet & sour fish
  • Halal kitchen experience.
  • Valid food safety/hygiene certificate.
  • Diploma in Culinary Arts (Kenya Utalii College or equivalent) is an added advantage.

Key Competencies

  • Multi-cuisine cooking (Italian, Indian, Chinese)
  • Halal kitchen management
  • Recipe costing and portion control
  • Food cost control
  • Kitchen team training and supervision
  • Food safety and hygiene
  • Time management under high-volume service
  • Attention to detail and consistency

Who Will Excel in This Role?

We're looking for someone who:

  • Genuinely knows all three cuisines from hands-on kitchen experience, not just one specialty.
  • Takes pride in consistent, well-costed dishes.
  • Can train and lead a new kitchen team from the ground up.
  • Is disciplined about halal standards and food safety.
  • Is ready to relocate and live on-site in Hargeisa for a 2-year assignment.

Candidates must submit: CV with photo, academic/professional certificates, food safety/hygiene certificate, passport copy (minimum 18 months' validity), Certificate of Good Conduct, and two employer references with contact details. Practical assessment: candidates will cook three dishes from the client's menu (one curry, one Chinese dish, one pizza), recorded on video or observed in person. Practical performance takes precedence over certificates.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
