Head Chef
24 hours ago
We're looking for a passionate and creative Head Chef to lead the kitchen at Sunnyboy Espresso — our beachside café on Hedges Avenue, Mermaid Beach. A locals' hub and go-to spot for great food, great coffee, and even better vibes.
Sunnyboy is the love child of Elk Espresso in Broadbeach, created by owner Andrew Whiting — a lifelong café lover who's spent his career building spaces where people connect over memorable food and coffee. Open just over a year, Sunnyboy has quickly become a bright, sun-drenched favourite for locals and visitors alike.
We're after someone who thrives on creating seasonal menus, building strong kitchen culture, and delivering consistent excellence. You'll step into a well-run kitchen with an established team and a supportive handover from our current Head Chef who is sadly leaving us to work in a family business.
What we're looking for:
- Strong leadership and communication skills
- A creative approach to seasonal produce and flavour
- High standards of consistency and presentation
- Someone who has experience in a leadership role
- A calm, positive energy and passion for café culture
- Full-time commitment to leading from the front
If that sounds like you, we would love for you to apply. Let's chat over coffee and talk about the next chapter of Sunnyboy.
