Townsville, Queensland, Australia HeyDays Cafe & Events Full time $60,000 - $75,000 per year

Full-Time Chef | Hey Days Café

Hey Days is on the lookout for a skilled and motivated full-time chef to join our energetic team. We're a modern, fast-paced breakfast café that also caters to functions and events — known for our sharp service, high standards, and fun, welcoming vibe.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on efficiency, works clean, and takes pride in running a tight section. While there's plenty of room for growth and added responsibility, this is a hands-on team role, not a head chef position — we're all about collaboration, not titles.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven experience in high-volume breakfast or café service
  • Strong organisational and time-management skills
  • Clean, efficient kitchen habits with attention to detail
  • A calm, focused presence during peak times
  • Respect for systems, prep schedules, and consistency
  • A team-oriented mindset — reliable, communicative, and proactive
  • Flexibility to support our functions and event offerings

What you'll get:

  • A full-time position with consistent hours
  • A creative, supportive team and respectful kitchen culture
  • A chance to grow with the business and shape your future role
  • A modern, well-run venue that values quality and people

To apply:

We welcome applications through Seek, but we especially appreciate those who apply directly. Please send your resume and a short note to — we'd love to hear from you.

As a hospitality group, we are regularly looking to hire across multiple venues. Currently, we are looking to add a chef to our team at Shop Six Pasta Bar as well. Should you have an interest in finding out more about other roles that currently exist within the business, please send an email and advise of your preference.

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: $60,000.00 – $75,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Employee discount
  • Free food

Work Location: In person
