Job description

With our
new venue launching we are recruiting for a passionate and dedicated Head
Chef with the vision and drive to lead a busy kitchen. We are looking for
someone who is a leader, who will inspire their team to work together to create
exceptional dining experiences using high-quality, local produce. As Head
Chef, you’ll manage all aspects of the kitchen, working closely with the
General Manager, Executive Chef and owners to ensure profitability while
maintaining the highest standards. Calm under pressure, you’ll lead by example,
motivating your team with your passion, professionalism and experience. We want
you to build and develop a brigade of like-minded individuals who care about
not only what they are serving, but the environment in which they are working.

Volume is
key here, we are a busy group and there is no time for someone wanting to watch
from the sidelines. We are hands on, from ownership to operations and being a
nice person matters. You will work directly with the owners to grow the
business, we want to build a family and want you to be part of it!

Previous
Head Chef level experience is essential, (minimum 2 years) ideally within a
similar style operation. We highly value enthusiasm, the right attitude
(probably the number one criteria!) and a commitment to team development and
progressing the business to the next level.

Hotel will be launching a new Italian inspired eatery boasting an open pizza

hotel guests.

A LITTLE ABOUT US..
We are an owner operated business with big ideas. We care about customer
service, excellent food and building an amazing team. We have big plans and

every day. We notice the little things and value loyalty, dedication and
passion.
