About the role

We're looking for a Kitchen In Charge to lead our kitchen and work closely with ownership on the day-to-day running of the store. This is not a traditional Chef role — our menu is relatively easy and our team is small (4–5 people per day working at the cafe), so we need someone who can take ownership of the kitchen while also staying closely connected to the front-of-house and overall store flow. We are looking for someone who loves brunch culture and is willing to develop the menus and expand the kitchen together.

Key responsibilities
Oversee all kitchen operations and food quality
Develop and review menu items with ownership
Manage stock levels and place orders as needed
Work closely with the owner on day-to-day decisions




Help manage overall workflow across the store, not just the kitchen
Lead and support a small kitchen team

About you
Solid kitchen experience, ideally in a supervisory or lead role for small team
Comfortable working in a small, close-knit team
Valuable organisational and time-management skills
Someone who enjoys being hands-on and involved beyond just cooking
Solid communication — this role works closely with ownership

Advantages
Ongoing training
Performance-based bonus
