About The Position:
We are currently looking for a Senior Sous Chef who will be responsible for supporting our Head Chef Joe Grbac in running the kitchen.

About the role:
- You will oversee food ordering and purchasing inventory.
- You will also be responsible for task delegation and staff management.
- From daily temperature fridge checks to end-of-night pack-down, the Sous Chef will ensure the kitchen is up to standard and teaching/practising best food health and safety compliance.
- Communicate effectively with team members and management during service.
About you:
- Hospitality is not just a job; it's a passion for people.
- Enjoys working in a busy environment.
- Loves to be a part of the creative process of dish creation and collaboration.
- 3 years' experience in a kitchen management position.
- Bring the good vibes, and be a team leader.
