Now Hiring: Sous Chef, Baker & Front of House (Gerringong)

Polpetta is bringing big energy, high-volume Italian-American favorites, and a bustling dinner-party vibe to Gerringong. We’re all about massive flavor, seamless service, and a tightly run kitchen.

We are building our opening team and looking for the right people to fill three key roles. If you love fast-paced hospitality, high standards, and a team-oriented team culture, we want to hear from you.

Working hand-in-hand with the Head Chef, you’ll ensure the kitchen runs perfectly, the prep is on point, and the food goes out hot, fast, and flawless.

- What you bring: Excellent communication under pressure, a passion for cooking, and a willingness to learn in a new kitchen environment.
- Perks: Competitive salary, clear operational structures, and the chance to help shape a thriving kitchen culture from day one.

2. Baker (Part-Time / Casual)

Our bread and dough are the foundation of the menu. We need someone detail-oriented and reliable to own the morning bake and set the kitchen up for success.
