At Prezzo Italian, we believe every role is more than just a job – it’s about pride, passion, and purpose – it’s where your heart makes the magic. We welcome every guest with warmth and care, creating moments that last. We take pride in every detail, owning our roles with passion and high standards.

  • Drive compliance and best practice in food hygiene, safety, and operations.
  • Collaborate closely with the Food Director and operations leaders to ensure consistency and excellence.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven expertise in kitchen operations, food safety, and compliance.
  • Excellent training and coaching skills – with a focus on hands-on leadership.
  • Strong organisational skills to manage multiple projects across the UK.
  • Clear communicator, able to inspire and connect with both BOH and FOH teams.
  • Passion for Italian cuisine, food quality, and operational excellence.
  • A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively.

Why Join Prezzo Italian

  • Competitive package: £45,000 salary + £5,500 car allowance + 20% bonus.
  • Travel the UK supporting our newly refurbished kitchens.
  • Access to structured training and clear career pathways.
  • Perks that matter – like free meals in our restaurants, discounts for you and your loved ones, your birthday off, wellbeing support, and exclusive hospitality rewards.
  • Be part of a culture where teamwork, recognition, and pride are at the heart of everything we do.

Ready to join a role that thrives on flavour, leadership, and purpose – and discover a place where your heart makes the magic? Apply now and see where you truly belong.
