About Coco Tang
Coco Tang is a unique, independent multi-concept brand that has defined the Nottingham hospitality scene since 2008. Our flagship venue is a hybrid destination: an authentic Vietnamese Kitchen, Speciality Coffee Roastery, and Oriental Bakery by day, and a sophisticated speakeasy and nightclub by night. We are obsessed with detail, authenticity, and creating an escape from the city. Now, we are bringing this same level of passion and high-energy hospitality to Manchester for our first historic phase of expansion out of Nottingham.
The Manchester Site
Our brand-new Manchester venue has a very clear "upward" energy - starting with a casual, high-traffic Vietnamese Café on the ground floor and transitioning into a more premium casual Restaurant, Private Dining, and Late-Night Bar upstairs.
The Opportunity
We are looking for passionate, hard-working Line Chefs to join our brand-new kitchen team. Working alongside our Head Chef/Kitchen Manager, General Manager and Owner you will be on the front lines of this historic Manchester opening. You will help launch a high-volume, fresh-food operation, cooking incredible food that spans rapid daytime café execution to beautiful premium evening dining.

  • The Launch Team: Be part of the foundational kitchen brigade for our Manchester opening, participating in full kitchen training, menu run-throughs, and launch events.
  • Fresh Food Execution: Work across different kitchen sections, preparing and cooking authentic Vietnamese dishes, small plates, and mains to exact specifications.
  • Speed & Consistency: Maintain absolute consistency in taste and food presentation during peak, high-volume lunch and dinner rushes.
  • Hygiene & Safety: Keep your station immaculately clean, organized, and compliant with food safety, allergen control, and health & safety standards.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Kitchen Experience: Prior experience working as a Line Chef, Commis Chef, or Chef de Partie in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen. Experience with Asian cuisine especially Vietnamese cuisine is advantageous, but full training is provided.
  • Operational Grit: You love the rush of a busy service. You have high energy, a strong work ethic, and thrive when the kitchen pass gets busy.
  • The "Detail" Architect: You take pride in your work. You care about how every single bowl or plate looks before it leaves your section.
  • Team Player: You have a positive attitude, communicate clearly under pressure, and support your fellow chefs to get through a busy shift together.
  • Reliable & Punctual: You are disciplined, turn up for your shifts on time, and are ready to work hard as part of a team.

What We Offer

  • Highly competitive hourly pay rate.
  • A fair share of the site service charge scheme (significantly boosting your take-home pay).
  • 28 days holiday per year (pro-rata for part-time).
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Generous staff discounts.
  • Massive opportunities for career progression as we grow our Manchester team and kitchen brigade.
