Job description

We’re about much more than hospitality! We’re striving to make life better for people – whether they are team members, guests, or the community – through our everyday actions and decisions. Our team cares for others, brings their best, and helps us move forward, whatever job they do.

As our Head Chef, you are:

3. Leading from the front, guiding and developing your team to deliver consistent standards of cleanliness, tidiness, and food service, as well as fostering an engaged and motivated team.

We value skills and experience, but more than anything, we want someone who shares our vision of a better hospitality industry and sees themselves as part of the team making this happen!

Compensation and Benefits:

We pay a fair wage – with our hourly pay being higher than the Government rates, at a minimum. Your earnings will be further enhanced by our 10% service charges and other tips that guests leave – with 100% of tips being retained by the team.

We make life better for our team by:

• Offering great perks and benefits for you and your family
• Sharing our profits with you after 1 year of service
• Providing free meals, soft drinks, and hot drinks on shift
• Listening to our team via surveys and feedback sessions
