5 hours ago
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.
If you bring energy, initiative, and a 'lead by example' attitude, we'll provide the training and support to help you excel.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and inspiring the kitchen crew with a hands-on approach.
- Prepping and managing ingredients to keep service fast and consistent.
- Training, coaching, and mentoring cooks to lift skills and confidence.
- 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.
