We are seeking a motivated and hands-on Head Chef with a passion for food and developing others. In this role, you'll support the Store Manager by overseeing back-of-house operations — from prepping ingredients and maintaining food standards to training and mentoring cooks. You'll be the go-to leader in the kitchen, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the grill and that the team is set up for success.

  • Maintaining food quality, presentation, and portion control at all times.
  • Overseeing kitchen cleanliness, food safety, and OH&S compliance.
  • Working closely with the Store Manager to coordinate stock, ordering, and rosters.
  • Jumping on the grill, fryer, or prep bench when needed — you won't just watch from the sidelines.

  • Competitive hourly rate + perks + MORE
