Demi Chef

Demi Chef (Level 2, WA) – Step Up, On Demand

Let's be honest: this is where the shift happens. You're no longer just following orders—you're trusted to run with them. The leap from Commis to Demi isn't about titles, it's about responsibility, precision, and the courage to own a section.

And with on-demand gigs across Perth's best kitchens, you get to sharpen that edge shift by shift.

You're not "just plating." You're proving you can lead.

Every sauce you finish, every station you run, every standard you enforce isn't background work—it's evidence you can handle pressure, consistency, and trust. This is where chefs are made.

Here's the truth most won't say out loud:

Kitchens don't promote on potential—they promote on proof. As a Demi Chef, every service is your proof.
