Byron Bay, Australia Light Years Full time

Light Years Asian Diner is a modern Asian dining experience that offers delicious share-style food, unique cocktails, and friendly wait staff. Originating in Byron Bay in 2017, the brand has quickly become a beachside favorite and expanded to Noosa, Burleigh Heads, and Newcastle, with each location having its own distinctive decor, exclusive dishes, and brand personality reflective of its surroundings. The restaurant is known for its bold, colourful, and flavourful food, and great team culture. We are currently seeking a Prep Chef to join our talented kitchen team.
