Head Chef — Soi 25 Restaurant & Bar, Pyrmont
Soi 25 has been serving Pyrmont since 2018. Following our 4.0 relaunch, we're cooking authentic regional Thai — Northern, Central and Southern styles, with the occasional Western influence — from a proven menu that's already earning its keep. We're looking for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen and hold the line on quality, service after service.
The role
- Lead lunch and dinner service, Tuesday to Saturday
- 38–40 hours per week
- $85,000 per year + super
- Work to an established menu and recipe bible — you're executing and refining, not rebuilding
- Own prep, quality, food cost, ordering, rostering and kitchen hygiene
- Lead and train a small kitchen team
About you
- Proven Head Chef, or a strong Sous Chef ready to step up
- Solid Thai cuisine experience — wok skills, curry pastes, larb, som tum are second nature. Regional Thai exposure a big plus
- Consistent execution under pressure, without cutting corners
- Confident running a team: transparent communicator, calm on the pass
- Strong on food safety and kitchen discipline
- Australian working rights required from day one. Visa sponsorship may be available for the right candidate from late 2028 onwards — happy to discuss for someone building a long-term future with us
Why Soi 25
- Established, proven menu — the R&D; is done, your job is to make it sing every service
- Sundays and Mondays off — real weekends
- No late nights beyond dinner service
- Direct line to the owner, real say in how your kitchen runs
- Genuine ownership of the pass, not a corporate structure above you
