This occupation is found in the hospitality industry, largely in luxury, fine dining and gastro venues, for example, restaurants, hotels, inns, conference and events venues, pubs, cruise ship, including independent and branded establishments.
The broad purpose of this occupation is to support the kitchen to provide a refined culinary offer. Commis chefs typically work in a brigade, large or small, to prepare, cook, and finish a wide range of food items from fresh across all sections in a kitchen.
In their daily work, an employee in this occupation interacts with a team, sometimes known as a brigade, of chefs, the wider team, including front of house staff, and suppliers and customers. A commis chef is typically directly managed by a Chef de Partie, a Sous chef, or a Head Chef, or, in some cases, directly by a Chef Patron or Executive Chef.
