Prep Chef

Position: Prep Chef – Savoury

Location: Tweed Heads

About Us

At Bread Social, we're known for our commitment to crafting high-quality baked goods and savoury items using the finest Australian-sourced and locally grown produce. With a loyal following and a strong community presence, our focus is on consistency, flavour, and innovation. We're now looking for a passionate Prep Chef to join our team at Tweed Heads — someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and has a genuine passion for quality food.

The Role

This role centres around large-batch production, where consistency, efficiency, and creativity are key. Think prepping and cooking premium ingredients for our savoury range — sandwiches, pies, sausage rolls, and more — with an artisan approach to every batch, rather than a la carte plating.

We're looking for someone who thrives in organised, production-style kitchens, and is passionate about great food & flavours.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce high-volume savoury items with care, consistency, and attention to detail
• Prep and cook ingredients to support our savoury range (sandwiches, sausage rolls, pies, etc.)
• Collaborate on the development of new menu items, with a focus on seasonality and local produce
• Maintain high standards of quality, presentation, and food safety
• Train and support junior team members
• Ensure daily production targets are met efficiently and with minimal waste
• Communicate with both Bread Social sites to manage product levels and stock flow
• Maintain a clean, organised, and positive kitchen environment

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 1 years' experience in a commercial kitchen
• Experience in large-batch or prep-heavy kitchens is a plus
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• A genuine passion for quality, seasonal produce and artisanal food
• Leadership experience and the ability to support junior team members
• Ability to work efficiently under pressure and meet daily production goals

Why Join The Bread Social?

• Be part of a passionate, close-knit team focused on quality and creativity
• Work with the best Australian and local ingredients
• Enjoy a stable, daytime production kitchen environment – no late nights
• Opportunity to grow within a well-respected, values-driven business
