A busy kitchen does not slow down because the team is short. Prep still needs to be done, orders still need to leave the pass and service still needs to run on time.
InfyWorx provides commis chefs to support hotels, restaurants, function venues, catering operations and other commercial kitchens across Australia.
Whether you need extra hands during a busy service, cover for staff shortages or additional kitchen support for an event, our commis chefs work alongside your existing kitchen team to keep the day moving.
A commis chef provides practical kitchen support under the direction of senior chefs and kitchen management.
The role can include ingredient preparation, basic cooking tasks, plating support, maintaining preparation areas, receiving and storing ingredients, cleaning workstations and assisting the wider kitchen team during service.
The exact duties depend on your kitchen, menu, service style and the level of support required.
A commis chef can be useful when your kitchen workload increases but you do not need another senior chef.
Busy service periods, large functions, conferences, weddings, seasonal demand, staff leave and unexpected roster gaps can all create additional pressure on the kitchen team.
Adding a commis chef gives your chefs another pair of capable hands for the practical work that needs to happen before and during service.
A commis chef takes on practical kitchen tasks that can otherwise pull senior chefs away from more important responsibilities.
When prep falls behind, service feels it later. Additional kitchen support helps keep ingredients, sections and workstations ready for the next stage of service.
Senior chefs should be focused on their sections and the overall service. A commis chef can handle appropriate supporting tasks and help keep the kitchen organised.
You may only need extra kitchen support during busy periods, events or seasonal peaks. Flexible staffing lets you add people when the workload requires them.
A clean and organised workstation makes service easier to manage. Commis chefs can support routine cleaning, preparation and equipment organisation throughout the shift.
Staff leave, unexpected absences and sudden increases in bookings can put pressure on a kitchen team. Additional staffing gives you a practical way to respond.
A commis chef works as part of your kitchen team rather than operating separately from it. We brief staff around your kitchen environment, service requirements, shift timing and responsibilities so they can support your chefs without creating additional management work.
You get a clear point of contact for staffing requirements, changes and shift issues. That means less time spent coordinating individual casual workers when your kitchen roster changes.
We confirm your venue type, kitchen operation, service style, guest numbers, shift times and the type of additional kitchen support you require.
We establish the commis chef’s responsibilities, required experience, shift duration, start time and the areas where support is needed.
We allocate a suitable commis chef and provide the relevant information about the venue, kitchen expectations, shift requirements and responsibilities.
The commis chef arrives for the agreed start time, gets familiar with the kitchen and begins the assigned preparation and support duties.
During preparation and service, the commis chef works under the direction of the kitchen team, completing assigned tasks and helping keep the operation moving.
At the end of the shift, the commis chef completes the agreed duties and leaves the workstation and equipment in the required condition. Feedback can then be used to adjust future staffing requirements.
