About the role

We're launching a brand-recent NY-style deli inside the David Jones Sydney food hall — Eat at DJ's — and we need a Deli Chef who wants to become the face and hero of it.

You'll be perfecting our signature dish: a salt beef sandwich built to rival the best department store delis in the world. You'll be front and centre in one of Sydney's busiest retail food destinations, working directly with customers — so as much as we need your knife skills, we need your personality.

Friendly, warm, quick with a joke or a recommendation — someone who makes people's lunch break the best part of their day. Hours are 8am – 4pm with no late nights, no 11pm finishes, and no split shifts.

Key responsibilities
Curing, cooking, and carving salt beef/pastrami to a world-class standard
Building and refining the deli menu alongside our culinary team
Running the deli counter with energy, warmth, and genuine hospitality
Managing stock, prep,



and food safety to the standard David Jones demands
Becoming the recognisable face of DJ Food Hall — the person customers come back for

About you
Solid chef/deli experience — charcuterie, curing, or delicatessen background highly regarded
A naturally warm, outgoing personality — you genuinely like people
Pride in craft and consistency — you care about getting it right every single time
Comfortable in a high-footfall, customer-facing retail workplace
Reliability and ownership — you treat the counter like it's yours
