About Soi Fire

Soi Fire is a brand-new fire-led Thai fusion kitchen opening in Potts Point in late August 2026. Bold, smoky, live-fire food that blends the punch of Thai flavour with the craft of open-flame cooking. We're looking for a Commis or junior CDP with grill experience to work our fire section under the Head Chef from opening day.

Key Responsibilities

- Keeping your section clean, organised, and stocked
- Following food safety and hygiene standards without being told twice
- Working closely with the Head Chef on quality and pacing

About You
- Minimum 1 year experience on the grill (charcoal, wood-fired, hibachi, robata, yakitori, or similar)




- Commercial cookery qualification (or actively studying) preferred
- Genuinely keen to specialise in live-fire cookery
- Curiosity about Thai cuisine — knowledge helpful but not essential; we'll teach you
- A team player who shows up early, listens, and takes feedback well
- Full Australian working rights — no visa sponsorship available

Hours & Roster
- Wednesday – Saturday: from 3pm
- Sunday: from 11am (trading 12pm – 8:30pm)
- 38 – 44 hours per week
- Two consecutive days off every week (Monday & Tuesday)

What We Offer
- Salary of $70,000 – $75,000 + tips (depending on experience)
- Real mentorship directly from the Head Chef on grill from day one
- Two days off every week
- Real menu input and clear pathway to CDP
- Family-style staff meals and a genuinely good crew
