We’re Restaurant Associates and we’re looking for a creative Head Chef to lead our premium kitchen — no nights, no weekends, just next-level food.
THE POSITION
Take charge of all things food — from fresh café menus to next-level corporate events.
Collaborate with our central production crew to deliver smooth, high-quality catering at scale.
Build great vibes with suppliers and clients — we only work with the best.
Keep things tight: smart costing, low waste, smooth service.
Stay on trend (especially café culture) and bring bold ideas to the plate.
Lead, grow and inspire your kitchen crew — your team, your style.
Own the menu from concept to cost control, without compromising on quality.
Help us create a café experience that keeps people coming back.
THE PERSON
Trade-qualified and have the scars (and stories) from working at Head Chef level.
You love food, full stop — and you never settle for average.
Organised under pressure, and thrive in a busy kitchen.
A natural team leader — you lift others up and get the job done.
Always experimenting, evolving, and pushing food forward.
Client-first mindset with a passion for delivering memorable food experiences.
THE BENEFITS
Monday to Friday only – your weekends are sacred.
Sydney CBD location – central, connected, and buzzing.
Solid salary + real pathways to grow with us.
Work with a supportive, fun, food-loving crew who actually care.
Build your own café-style concept in a corporate setting — no cookie-cutter menus here.
