Job description

Two permanent, full-time opportunities

NOT EVERY KITCHEN DOES THINGS THE SAME WAY. THAT'S THE POINT.

Some kitchens follow the same formula. Others have a personality all their own.

We're recruiting two Chef de Parties for an established hospitality business in Wānaka, where bold flavours, quality regional ingredients and a distinctive approach to cooking create something memorable.

Think generous food, beautifully cooked meats, fresh produce and dishes designed to bring people together.

No unnecessary fuss. No pretension. Just great cooking, genuine hospitality and a food experience guests remember.

THE OPPORTUNITY

You'll join a hands-on kitchen team producing flavour driven food in a busy, relaxed hospitality environment.

YOUR ROLE WILL INVOLVE:

• Preparing, cooking and presenting quality dishes with consistency and care.
• Supporting smooth, organised preparation and service.
• Working with fresh ingredients and a varied menu.
• Maintaining excellent food safety and kitchen standards.
• Assisting with stock rotation, portion control and reducing waste.
• Working closely with the team to deliver a great dining experience.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

We're looking for chefs who know their craft, enjoy a busy service and take pride in their work.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous Chef de Partie experience or solid commercial kitchen experience.
• Strong cooking and presentation skills.
• Confidence working consistently through busy services.
• Good organisation, preparation and time management.
• Sound knowledge of food safety and kitchen hygiene.
• A positive attitude, reliability and a genuine passion for food.

You don't need the fanciest CV. What matters is your ability, consistency and willingness to contribute.

WHAT'S ON OFFER

• Two permanent, full-time positions.
• Guaranteed minimum of 30 hours per week.
• An established hospitality business with a distinctive approach to food.
• The opportunity to work with quality ingredients and broaden your cooking experience.
• The chance to live and work in beautiful Wānaka.

TWO POSITIONS. ONE GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Whether you're already in Central Otago or considering a move, this could be your chance to combine great cooking with an outstanding lifestyle.

If you love food, appreciate quality ingredients and want to work somewhere a little different, we'd love to hear from you.

All applications will be treated confidentially.
