Why Venues Hire Through myCHEF

We are operators, not generalists. Our recruiters come from professional kitchens and dining rooms. When we say a line cook can hold a 150-cover service or a host can handle a VIP arrival, it is because we have assessed them against that standard — not forwarded a CV.

Trial shifts before commitment. Every candidate completes a paid trial shift at your establishment. You assess their skills, pace and attitude in your environment before making any hiring decision.

Built for seasonality. We maintain a pool of pre-vetted seasonal staff, and volume clients receive priority access for peak periods. Venues scaling from 15 to 40 staff for high season do it without an emergency hiring spiral.

Opening teams, coordinated. For new openings we build complete teams — recruitment timeline planning and batch hiring coordinated so your kitchen and front-of-house arrive ready together, not in dribbles.

Fees you can budget around. Recruitment fees are published per tier above and quoted as one-time fees per successful placement — no percentage-of-salary surprises, no retainers you did not ask for. Volume briefs of ten or more placements receive a tailored rate card matched to your hiring forecast, so a full-season recruitment plan fits inside one approved budget line.

Trial Shifts & Vetting

Every candidate passes four gates before joining your roster:

1. Skills assessment against the specific role and cuisine
2. Reference checks with previous employers
3. Background verification
4. A paid trial shift at your venue

After placement we stay involved — ongoing check-ins, performance tracking and, if needed, replacement under guarantee: 60 days for kitchen and service roles, 90 days for management. We prepare employment contracts and onboarding support, and advise on BPJS and THR employer obligations for your HR file.

How It Works

1. Brief. Your establishment's needs, team structure and culture.
2. Shortlist. Matched candidates for your kitchen or front-of-house — typically within 48 hours.
3. Trial shifts. Your top candidates work a shift at your venue.
4. Placement. Contracts, onboarding and first-week support.
5. Support. Ongoing check-ins, replacements and volume planning.
