Perth, Australia Light Years Full time

Before Byron Bay became a dining destination, there was Light Years. Tucked in an intimate space in the centre of town, the modern Asian restaurant became a fast favourite for its playful approach to hospitality, a modern Asian dining experience that offers delicious share-style food, unique cocktails, and friendly wait staff.

Since it first opened back in 2017, the stalwart of the beach town’s dining scene has become something of a phenomenon, spawning outposts in Noosa, Burleigh Heads and Newcastle. And in late 2022, Light Years Byron Bay packed up and opened its second iteration in a brand new, larger space – an evolved, grown-up version.

Fast forward to 2025, and it’s time for Light Years to spread its flavour powered wings to Western Australia. A prime Perth CBD location, situated within a stylish iconic heritage building on William Street, Light Years Perth will be the biggest (boldest) venture yet. This two-hundred-seater venue will showcase laneway dining, private dining and a stunning centralised bar for a good dose of good-time vibes

We are ready for YOU to join this exciting opening and embrace a collaborative, fun environment and excellent team culture.

POSITION SUMMARY

A Prep Chef at Light Years Asian Diner plays a key role in ensuring our kitchen runs smoothly by preparing ingredients to the highest standard. Working behind the scenes, you’ll be responsible for prepping and organising the ingredients for all menu items, ensuring consistency and quality across all dishes.
