Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Chai Shai Fitzroy Full time

Café All Rounder | Strong Kitchen & Prep Experience Essential

Location: Chai Shai Cafe, Fitzroy, Melbourne | Job Type: Full-Time

We're looking for a passionate, hands-on Café Manager who thrives in a busy, creative space and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves — especially in the kitchen. Our café is known for its chai, snacks, shisha, and events, and we need someone who can lead the team, keep operations smooth, and most importantly, take full ownership of food prep and kitchen management.

We're a small, close-knit team that loves to have fun at work, but we also take pride in staying organised and keeping everything in top shape. If you're reliable, love food, and are confident managing people, stock, and events, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

- Take charge of daily café operations
- Lead and assist with kitchen prep and food service (this is a big part of the role)
- Prepare sandwiches, patties, Indian snacks, and other items as per menu
- Ensure kitchen cleanliness and food safety standards are met
- Create and manage staff rosters
- Provide excellent customer service
- Manage inventory and stock levels - no last-minute shortages
- Coordinate with team for smooth event planning and execution
- Prepare monthly event calendars and liaise with artists and organisers
- Support basic social media content (stories, reels, updates)
- Cocktail/bar knowledge is a big plus

What We Offer:

- Competitive pay based on experience
- Staff meals and, of course, lots of chai
- A fun, supportive, and respectful work environment
- Real input into food, service, and events
- Be part of a growing, South Asian-inspired cultural hub in the heart of Fitzroy

You're a Great Fit If You:

- Have strong kitchen and food prep experience (this is essential)
- Have previously managed a team or venue in hospitality
- Are highly organised, proactive, and great at solving problems on the go
- Enjoy working with people and can build a positive team culture
- Are passionate about chai, Indian food, and community events
- Are familiar with or from a South Asian background (a big bonus)
- Comfortable with a bit of social media support

How to Apply:
Send your resume and a short cover letter via Seek or Indeed telling us why you'd be the perfect fit.

We're excited to bring on someone who's ready to grow with us and bring heart, hustle, and good vibes to every shift.
