Job description

At Côte Brasserie we're not just in the business of serving delicious French food — we're in the business of creating memorable experiences. Whether it's a rush hour lunch or a high-volume weekend service, our back-of-house team is the engine that keeps everything moving. We're passionate about quality, efficiency, and supporting one another behind the scenes to create an exceptional experience.

We're looking for a Temporary Chef over the festive period who can wear multiple hats and thrives on variety. One day you might be helping with line chef duties or counting stock, the next you could be rolling up your sleeves as a KP. If you like to stay busy, learn quickly, and jump in wherever needed — this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

• Prep, stock, and organize to keep our team running efficiently
• Maintain a clean, safe, and compliant workspace at all times
• Support the kitchen team as needed
• Flex between roles to meet business needs, especially during peak times
• Communicate clearly with both BOH and FOH teams to ensure a seamless guest experience

What We're Looking For

• A team player with a strong work ethic and positive attitude
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• Reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented
• Prior BOH experience is a plus but not required — we train great people!

The good stuff.

• Awesome pay rates including service charge with part time and full-time hours available
• We pay all our teams fortnightly because who doesn’t love a payday?
• Every shift you work, we’ve got you covered with meals from our employee menu (thanks Chef)!
• Access your next pay early through our Stream partnership
