Namaskar my name is Amit and I am a chef recruiter in India I recute and conduct many interviews everyday. My specialisation is searching India top talented chefs for luxury, hotels, resorts and restaurants, and international Indian restaurants were frustrated with franchise.

Myself and my HR consultant receiving almost 200 phone calls and provide support finding a suitable chef for their business.  One common curiosity and question ask by everyone about salaries of chefs, cooks.

1. Normally salary of a chef depend on how much he can deliver not on the basis of how much experience he is starting salary in kitchen department start from Rs 15000 and on the basis of how much he can deliver reach up to 4 lakh rupees per Month.

2. There are two type of kitchen staff available in India one who have paid and learn cooking like diploma and degree holders kitchen professionals. Second type of employees are those because they are not doing anything someone has pull him to the industry and now they are working here and there. There focus is not to become a masterchef or a TOP CHEF IN INDIA . They are earning their bread and butter. These type of professionals change the job very frequently and you need to have a strict contract before Hiring along with better facilities which your competitor cannot provide.

3. Recruiting diploma and degree holder kitchen employees you need to provide them career path best facilities and a great working and environment.

Overall I have seen in last many years luxury hotels and resorts exploit degree and diploma holders because they provide career and people who doesn't have a degree or diploma exploit more restaurant and Cafe owner.

Because we are from the same industry and I have given my many years and I understand most of the challenges and how to select the candidate for a successful kitchen we are expectives and now we become one of the most popular service provider in India as when someone required Exe chef or Head chef for their new or running business.

We take a fix piece for searching the candidate + both employee and employer into a contract which is a fixed term contract and no one can leave each other, a very transparent and very honest contract between a restaurant and hotel owner, and be the chef. We also provide replacements and financial penalty in case anyone break the contract within the time.
