Sous Chef & Upcoming Culinary Roles – Belmondos Kitchen

At Belmondos Kitchen, we create nourishing, flavour-driven food using organic produce, cooked from scratch, in a clean, well-run kitchen. We are a highly disciplined, high-performance team committed to doing things properly - with no shortcuts.

To stay ahead of our operational growth, we are actively recruiting a strong, experienced Sous Chef to step in as our Training & Operational Lead. By planning ahead, we are also taking early applications for upcoming Breakfast Chef and Prep and Production Chef positions.

The Role: The Engine Room of Belmondos

While our Executive and Head Chefs focus on pioneering new menus and creative development, your mandate is day-to-day success. We are looking for an operational powerhouse who loves to come in, keep things moving, and take absolute pride in driving the daily operations. In this kitchen, the leader who keeps the wheels turning and the standards high is one of the most highly valued members of our team.

Who We Are Looking For (Sous Chef Focus)

• Day-to-Day Operations: You are the anchor of our daily service. You must uphold high standards of food preparation and presentation, keeping the kitchen running smoothly and ensuring the servery remains organized, abundant, clean, and compliant in the Head Chef and Executive Chef's absence.
• Leadership & Training: You will bridge the gap between our systems and staff execution through constant coaching. You must ensure every team member can execute recipes to the exact standard and utilize Productivity Scores to train under-performers.
• Waste & Portion Control: You will enforce adherence to portion sizes and yields to minimize waste and protect our food cost targets.
• Organisation: You must ensure the team is executing prep lists effectively without wasting time.
• Experienced & Compliant: Trade qualified with minimum 3-4 years of professional chef experience and current Australian work rights are essential. No sponsorships are on offer.
• Work Ethic & Physicality: This is not a job for someone wanting an easy ride. This is a prep-heavy kitchen requiring the physical ability to handle and process produce in bulk.
• Hours & Availability: Work is daytime hours only. Weekend work is required, but specific scheduling can be discussed.

If you take pride in your operational output, enjoy being the driving force behind a high-performing team, and love the energy of working with purpose – you will thrive here.
