📝 Key Responsibilities
- Operate and manage the BBQ and kebab grill station — preparing, marinating, skewering, and grilling a variety of meat, poultry, and seafood items to consistent quality and presentation standards.
- Prepare a full range of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean grilled dishes — including seekh kebab, shish tawook, lamb chops, kofta, mixed grills, and other regional specialty dishes.
- Manage marination, spice blending, and skewering preparation — ensuring proteins are properly prepared before grilling for maximum flavor and texture.
- Operate and maintain charcoal, gas, and wood-fired grill equipment — controlling heat zones and cooking temperatures to achieve perfect results on every order.
- Ensure all grilled items are cooked to the correct internal temperature and doneness — following food safety and HACCP standards.

- Monitor and communicate ingredient inventory and restocking requirements for the grill station to kitchen management.
✅ Requirements
