Job Description
Not every kitchen needs another pair of hands. Some kitchens need someone who owns their section.
n
The Frog Club is looking for a Chef de Partie who takes genuine pride in the work—someone who runs their section with discipline, holds the line under pressure, and understands that a outstanding kitchen is built on consistency, not performance.
n
This isn't a role for someone learning the basics, nor a kitchen for someone who needs step-by-step direction during service. We don't take shortcuts, and we expect you not to either.
n
Placed on Chapel Street, Windsor, from the team behind Gilson, The Frog Club channels the energy of classic New York supper clubs and iconic Hollywood dining rooms. Think dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, brasserie classics executed properly, cold martinis, and high-energy service seven nights a week. We take the food seriously, treat our people well, and are building something built to last.
n
The Role
n
You'll take total accountability for your section—preparation, execution, and closing standards. Working alongside the Head Chef and Sous Chef, you will drive menu consistency while mentoring the junior line.
n
n
Execution: Run your section with precision and pace across full, high-volume services.
n
Standards: Maintain exact quality and presentation on every single plate, every single night.
n
Preparation:



Complete mise en place to the Head Chef's exact standard, fully set before the first order drops.
n
Leadership: Support the on‐job development of Commis Chefs and Kitchen Hands.
n
Operations: Oversee section cleanliness, HACCP compliance, stock rotation, yield management, and waste reduction.
n
n
What We're Looking For
n
n
Proven Experience: Demonstrated background as a CDP in a high-volume, quality-driven restaurant (grill, fish, or larder experience strongly preferred).
n
Autonomy: Able to step in and run a section independently from week one.
n
Consistency: The standard on a quiet Tuesday matches the standard on a peak Saturday.
n
Composure: Works cleanly under pressure and maintains sharp, clear communication on the line.
n
Attitude: Brings quiet confidence, high energy, and genuine respect for the craft.
n
n
What We Offer
n
n
Competitive salary + super + tips.
n
A key role in one of Melbourne's most anticipated new venue openings.
n
A structured pathway to Sous Chef as our hospitality group expands.
n
Access to group-wide staff discounts and structured culinary training programs.
n
A professional, respectful culture where hard work is recognized and rewarded.
n
Help build a new Chapel Street institution.
