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.

Role Overview: Senior Sous Chef (SSC)

Our Senior Sous Chefs (SSC) are a pivotal part of our kitchen teams, working closely with the Head Chef, Kitchen, Front of House teams, and the General Manager to deliver excellent hospitality and memorable experiences to our guests and team members.

The SSC is passionate about their craft and all aspects of kitchen management and food experiences. They are responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day kitchen operation and team management. In the absence of the Head Chef, the SSC collaborates with their chefs to deliver high-quality dishes across the restaurant, functions, and other food outlets while maintaining high profitability. They are financially aware and maintain good relationships with suppliers to ensure the delivery of quality produce.

Leading from the front, guiding and developing their teams, they ensure consistent standards of cleanliness, tidiness, and food service, fostering an engaged and motivated team. Our SSCs may guide junior team members through new dishes, design menus and daily specials with the Head Chef, or oversee their pass during events like weddings.

Qualifications and Qualities

While skill and experience are essential, we value someone who shares our vision of a better hospitality industry and sees themselves as part of the team capable of making this happen!

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a fair wage, with hourly pay above government rates at a minimum. Your earnings will be further supplemented by our 10% service charges and other tips, all of which are retained by the team.

• Enjoy great perks and benefits for you and your family
• Share in our profits after one year of service
