Chef De Partie

LK Hospitality | South Yarra, VIC | Full-Time

You know what a high standard looks and feels like. Here, it is just the baseline.

This is a replacement role at Omnia, our modern European bistro on the ground floor of Capitol Grand, South Yarra. You will own your section, lead the junior team behind you, and deliver service to the standard this kitchen is known for.

About Us

Founded in 2019, LK Hospitality has quickly made a name for itself as the home of innovative, creative and world-class dining and drinking experiences. Led by Executive Culinary Director, Stephen Nairn, our portfolio includes award-winning Omnia, Yugen Dining and Yugen Omakase. In addition to The Grand Room, all located within the prestigious Capitol Grand, on the bustling corner of Toorak Road and Chapel Street, South Yarra and Portside.

About Omnia:

Omnia is a contemporary European restaurant and bar in the heart of South Yarra, bringing fine dining craftsmanship to timeless culinary classics. Guests can settle into the light-filled Conservatory, the cosy Barrel Room, or the buzz of the Main Bar, for anything from a quick bite to a full evening out.

We work closely with trusted local growers and producers to showcase Victoria's best seasonal produce, backed by an extensive wine list and a standout Champagne selection. It's an elegant, approachable neighbourhood venue with a genuine commitment to quality, from scratch-made stocks and sauces to fresh bread baked daily.

The Role

As a Chef de Partie at Omnia, you will take ownership of your section, delivering dishes with precision and consistency while supporting the Sous Chef and Head Chef. You’ll be responsible for day-to-day section management, mentoring junior chefs, and ensuring the highest standards of taste, presentation, and food safety are met.



This is an opportunity to work in a energetic, high-performing kitchen that prides itself on both creativity and teamwork.

- Manage day-to-day section operations and supervise Commis and Demi Chefs
- Plan and execute mise en place for smooth, consistent service
- Prepare, cook and plate dishes to Omnia's standard - every cover
- Monitor stock, check deliveries and assist with ordering
- Train and mentor junior chefs in technique and kitchen standards
- Maintain food safety and hygiene to HACCP and FIFO requirements
- Follow and uphold cleaning schedules consistently

Tuesday to Saturday. Based at Capitol Grand, South Yarra.

Who We're Looking For

You are someone who takes genuine pride in what comes off your section. You hold the standard because it matters to you - not because someone is watching.

- Experience as a Chef De Partie in a fine dining restaurant
- Strong section management and kitchen operations knowledge
- Team leadership and ability to mentor junior chefs
- In-depth knowledge of food safety, HACCP and FIFO
- Valid working rights in Australia - sponsorship not available

And the non-negotiables - you show up prepared, you execute with consistency, and you take ownership of your section without needing to be directed. The guest never sees what happens behind the pass. You know that. And you care about it anyway. Please note: Sponsorship is not being considered for this position. Applicants must have valid work rights.

What's on Offer

- Outstanding kitchen environment at Capitol Grand, South Yarra
- In-house training and cross-training across the venue group
- Professional development and genuine career growth in hospitality
- A team that holds each other to a standard worth working to
