Sunshine Coast, Australia Motel Mexicana Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year
Head Chef – Motel Mexicana

Location: Ocean Street, Maroochydore

Employment Type: Full-Time

About Motel Mexicana

Motel Mexicana is a brand-new hospitality destination set to transform Ocean Street, combining three distinct venues under one roof:

  • The Lobby Bar – a fun filled front bar and dining room with live DJ's
  • The Laneway & Margarita Bar – an oasis to escape the ocean street hustle
  • The Nightclub – open friday and saturday nights until 3am

Our food celebrates the authentic flavours of Mexico, focusing on freshness, vibrancy, and creativity—not Tex-Mex. Guests can expect bold ceviches, slow-cooked meats, handmade tortillas, charred street corn, and share-style dining that complements the atmosphere across each venue.

Motel Mexicana will operate lunch and dinner, five days a week.

The Role

We are seeking a Head Chef to lead our kitchen operations and establish Motel Mexicana as a standout dining and entertainment venue on the Sunshine Coast. The successful candidate will bring both culinary expertise and strong leadership, ensuring a consistently high standard of food and service across all outlets.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and deliver a modern Mexican-inspired menu with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients
  • Oversee all kitchen operations including service, food preparation, and plating standards
  • Recruit, train, and manage a motivated back-of-house team
  • Manage budgets, food costs, ordering, and supplier relationships
  • Maintain compliance with food safety, hygiene, and workplace standards
  • Work collaboratively with venue management and front-of-house teams to ensure seamless service and guest satisfaction
About You
  • Demonstrated experience as a Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef in a high-volume, fast-paced venue
  • Strong knowledge and passion for authentic Mexican flavours and techniques
  • Proven ability to manage kitchen operations and control costs effectively
  • Excellent leadership, team development, and communication skills
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to perform under pressure
  • Motivated to contribute to the success of a new multi-venue hospitality concept
What We Offer
  • Opportunity to lead the kitchen in an exciting new venue on the Sunshine Coast
  • Competitive salary package and performance-based incentives
  • Creative freedom to shape and evolve the menu offering
  • Ongoing support from an experienced hospitality group
  • A dynamic and professional workplace environment
