A senior chef, often referred to as a head chef or executive chef, is responsible for overseeing the kitchen operations in a restaurant or culinary establishment. They manage menu creation, food preparation, staff supervision, and ensure quality control. Senior chefs also play a crucial role in budgeting and inventory management, as well as maintaining food safety standards. Their leadership and culinary expertise are essential for delivering a high-quality dining experience.

This person may have not yet attained confidence of the chef or is unwilling to take on the full responsibility of the kitchen. It is basically a plateau that this person has reached, where he/she is satisfied in accepting new responsibilities, as mentioned above. To no way this means any discredit to this individual.
