West End, Australia Hai Hai Ramen Full time $65,000 - $70,000 per year

Obsessed with ramen? Good. So are we.

Hai Hai is looking for a Prep Chef who can take our obsession with ramen & izakaya and drive it to the next level.

As Prep Chef, you'll be the engine behind our flagship West End kitchen - leading the prep & organisation, pushing quality, and setting the standards that make HaiHai a cult-fave. This is your chance to be part of, and help scale a brand that's serious about growth.

What You'll Do

  • Run the prep schedule - own the recipes, own the standards
  • Champion quality - every broth, every tare, every recipe consistent, from our 24-hour tonkotsu to our tare's, chashu meats, and sauces.

Why HaiHai? (aka What's In It For You)

Here's why this role stands out:

Great salary & conditions - $70k Mon-Fri daytime role

Growth Stage Role - shape systems + standards as we expand beyond West End.

Legacy Opportunity - help build a brand, not just a kitchen.

Culture That Cares - no ego, no pretence, just soul food and soul people.

Sponsorship Available - for the right chef, we'll back you all the way.

Who We're After

  • Business brain. You get COGs, wages, and how to run a profitable kitchen.
  • Creative edge. You're excited by freedom to push izakaya beyond "side dishes."
  • Natural leader. You train, mentor, and inspire - not just manage.
  • Growth mindset. You want to step into an executive role as HaiHai scales.

Non-Negotiables

Don't apply if:

  • You don't care about process, quality, or consistency.
  • You want to just "hold a job," not help build a brand.

About HaiHai

We're a Brisbane ramen brand with cult status, born in Paddington in 2016 and expanded to our flagship in West End.

  • Our ethos? Flavour without the fuss
  • Our bowls are crafted, never copied
  • Our izakaya dishes are built to stand alone, not just sides.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $65,000.00 – $70,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Employee discount
  • Profit sharing
  • Visa sponsorship

Work Authorisation:

  • Australia (Preferred)
