Develop and update menus in collaboration with the management team, maintaining creativity and alignment with our Australian-inspired concept.
Ensure compliance with food hygiene and safety regulations at all times.
Maintain and improve kitchen systems, prep schedules, and cleanliness standards.
Take responsibility for quality control, presentation, and timely service of all dishes leaving the kitchen.

What We Offer:
