Oppurtunity to join Hinata Cafe as a Kitchen Manager!
Hinata Cafe is a warm and inviting place for people to enjoy a homestyle Japanese meal, specialty drinks and desserts.
Located in Fremantle at the Fibonacci Centre, this cafe is part of a creative community and often hosts events.
As a Kitchen Manager at Hinata Cafe, you will be collaborating with kitchen staff and the owner to create seasonal menus, lead the kitchen team, and cook Japanese food.
The Kitchen Manager is expected to be creative with ingredients, while staying conscious of ingredient costs and reducing waste, and have a good handle on cooking skills.
The cafe is open 6 days a week, Wednesday to Monday, and closed on Tuesdays, but the Kitchen Manager will be expected to be on site to receive orders and prepare for the following day.
A good understanding of Japanese language and culture is beneficial as most of the staff under your leadership will be Japanese, some with a basic level of English.
