About Eat Píng
Eat Píng is a fast-growing, London-based meal subscription business delivering balanced and nutritious Asian food at scale. We combine authentic flavours with healthier ingredient substitutions and no trade-off between taste and health. We’ve scaled from zero to over 5,500 meals per week within our first year and are building the operational foundations to triple that.


This is not a live-service kitchen. We are a food production operation built with systematic, military-grade operational discipline. Every dish follows a standardised recipe bible and plating bible, batch cooked and blast chilled to exacting food safety standards.


The Role
We’re hiring a Chef de Partie to take ownership of a designated section within our production kitchen. You’ll be responsible for executing your station to the highest standard across our weekly production cycle from prep through to portioning. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in precision, consistency, and speed, and who wants to grow within a fast-scaling food business.


Key Responsibilities
Production & Execution

  • Take full ownership of your assigned section across the weekly production cycle: sauce prep (Tuesday), main prep (Wednesday), production (Thursday), portioning and sealing (Friday–Saturday)
  • Execute batch cooking to recipe bible specifications using commercial kitchen equipment including Rational Bratt Pans, convection ovens, blast chillers, and Robocoupes
  • Ensure all food from your section is blast chilled to below 2°C within protocol timeframes and correctly transferred to cold room storage
  • Operate your designated station on the 4-station portioning assembly line (carb, protein, vegetable, or sauce/garnish), maintaining speed and accuracy

Quality & Consistency

  • Prepare all dishes to the exact specifications set out in the recipe bible and plating bible as consistency is a non-negotiable
  • Monitor dish weights and presentation at your station to ensure adherence to plating standards
  • Conduct taste checks on your section’s output and flag any quality concerns to the Head Chef immediately

Requirements
Essential:

  • Experience as a Chef de Partie or strong Commis Chef ready to step up, in a high-volume food production or commercial kitchen environment
  • Solid understanding of batch cooking techniques, blast chilling protocols, and cold chain management
  • Level 2 Food Safety & Hygiene certification (HS2) — or willingness to obtain before start date
  • Working knowledge of HACCP principles and food safety record-keeping
  • Competent operating commercial kitchen equipment (Bratt pans, convection ovens, blast chillers, Robocoupes)
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to maintain high standards under pressure across long production days
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, scaling startup environment where discipline and output matter
  • Right to work in the UK

Desirable:

  • Experience with Asian cuisine, particularly South East Asian, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese cooking techniques and flavour profiles
  • Background in meal prep, subscription food, or FMCG food production
  • Level 3 Food Safety & Hygiene certification

Our Culture
Eat Píng operates by four core standards. These aren’t aspirational — they’re how we work every day:

  • Aggressive Intensity — We are here to win. We expect high performers who consistently bring their A-game.
  • Ruthless Efficiency — Every effort must drive meaningful results. We focus on what matters most and execute relentlessly.
  • Cross Collaboration — No role operates in isolation. Kitchen, operations, growth, and tech work together with shared responsibility.
  • Creative Discipline — Punctuality, professionalism, and respect are mandatory. At the same time, if you believe a process can be improved, we want to hear it.
