Join the team behind The Apollo, Cho Cho San, Olympus Dining, Greca and Yoko to lead one of two new restaurants opening this Spring.
About the Roles
These are rare opportunities to shape a restaurant before the first guest walks through the door. Working alongside our culinary leadership team, you will develop the opening menu, recruit and mentor your team, and create the kitchen culture that will define your team for years to come.
Once open, you will lead every aspect of the kitchen – balancing creativity with commercial performance and delivering exceptional food every service.

You’ll Bring

Head Chef experience in a premium or hatted high-volume venue
A strong grounding in French or Japanese cooking
Leadership built on respect – we take how our kitchens feel to work in as seriously as what they send out




Commercial sharpness – you can read reports, write a roster, and hit a food cost without cutting corners

Opening experience is a bonus, not a requirement

What you’ll get in return

Real input into menu development, working closely with our culinary leadership team
A market-market-competitive salary package negotiated on experience
Mentoring from, and collaboration with our Director and Development chefs
Career progression across a growing group in Sydney and Brisbane

Dining discounts across all our venues

If you’re ready for the opportunity to lead a current restaurant from day one, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now with your CV.
