The Opportunity

Here is what this Adelaide cafe wants in its next Chef, and how to show you are the one. It is a medium-sized venue with an open kitchen, a name for flavour-packed food and a fresh take on service, hiring on a casual basis with full-time hours.

The hiring team is looking for real depth: years behind the line in a reputable cafe or restaurant, comfort covering for the head chef, and hands-on stock and ordering experience. Strong communication is a must, and since diners can see straight into the kitchen, so is a clean, well-kept appearance. You must hold unrestricted Australian work rights. Sponsorship is available for a candidate who shows leadership and great communication, so give concrete examples of both.

Tailor your CV to these duties by naming the venues, the covers you handled and times you led a shift. Build a tailored chef CV on Build AI CV so the recruiter sees the match at a glance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the brigade on the head chef's days off
  • Turn out excellent food where customers can watch
  • Handle stock counts and ordering
  • Bring energy to a positive, motivated kitchen team
  • Maintain a high standard during busy services

Requirements & Eligibility

  • At least 2 years cooking as a chef
  • A proven track record of exceptional dishes in a pressured, time-critical kitchen, backed by a qualification in Commercial Cookery
  • Unrestricted work rights in Australia
