Demi Chef – Recent YASSAS Mitcham Location

YASSAS – The Greek Way

Location: Currently Ringwood, transitioning to our new Mitcham location

Position: Demi Chef / Demi Chef de Partie

Employment: Full-time / Part-time opportunities available

About YASSAS

YASSAS – The Greek Way is a vibrant Greek restaurant group bringing the flavours, generosity and hospitality of Greece to Melbourne.

With our new Mitcham location coming soon, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Demi Chef to join our kitchen team and grow with us.

This role will initially be based at our Ringwood operation, allowing you to learn our menu, systems, kitchen standards and YASSAS way of working before transitioning across to our new Mitcham restaurant when it opens.

About the Role

Working alongside our Head Chef and senior kitchen team, you’ll be involved in the day-to-day preparation and service of our Greek menu while helping us maintain strong standards across food quality, consistency, presentation, cleanliness and kitchen organisation.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who already has commercial kitchen experience and is ready to develop further within a growing restaurant group.

Key Responsibilities

- Prepare, cook and present dishes consistently to YASSAS standards
- Work across different kitchen sections during preparation and service
- Assist with mise en place and daily kitchen preparation
- Follow recipes, portioning and presentation specifications
- Maintain food quality and consistency during busy services
- Follow food safety, hygiene and cleaning procedures
- Assist with stock rotation, storage and minimising food wastage
- Keep your section clean, organised and service-ready
- Work closely with chefs, kitchen hands and FOH to deliver smooth service




- Follow direction from the Head Chef and senior kitchen team
- Contribute positively to the opening and establishment of our new Mitcham kitchen

What We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone who is reliable, energetic and genuinely enjoys working in a busy kitchen.

Ideally, you will have previous experience as a Demi Chef, Commis Chef or similar position within a restaurant or high-volume hospitality environment.

You should be comfortable working under pressure, have good attention to detail and understand that consistency is just as important as speed.

Experience with Greek or Mediterranean cuisine is an advantage, but not essential — the right attitude, willingness to learn and strong kitchen fundamentals are more important.

You’ll also need to be available across a flexible roster, including evenings and weekends.

Why Join YASSAS?

This is a particularly exciting opportunity because you’ll be joining us before the opening of our new Mitcham location.

You’ll have the opportunity to train with an established team in Ringwood, understand our food and systems, and then become part of the opening kitchen team at Mitcham from day one.

As YASSAS continues to grow, we want good people to grow with us. For someone with the right attitude and ability, there will be opportunities to develop into more senior kitchen positions over time.

How to Apply

If you love working with great food, enjoy the energy of a busy restaurant kitchen and want to be part of an exciting new opening, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply through Indeed with your CV and a brief introduction about your kitchen experience and availability.
