We're looking for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen at Bar Lune. Bar Lune is our neighbourhood dining spot in Beulah Park, serving Euro/Mediterranean small plates and shared mains. It's known locally for great wine and excellent service, with a loyal following and an established kitchen team.
We need the right person to take it into its next chapter.
The Role
You'll sit at the centre of the kitchen and be responsible for:
- Leading and developing the kitchen team
- Recruitment, staffing and rostering
- Menu development and seasonal direction
- Food cost, labour and overall kitchen performance
- Consistency and standards, every service
- Working closely with the Venue Manager and EMBR leadership
- Building systems that keep the kitchen running well long term
You'll have real creative input and the autonomy to run your kitchen, with support from our General Manager and Executive Chef and the wider EMBR team. We want someone who can balance creativity with commercial reality. Great food matters, and so does knowing your labour %,
looking after your suppliers, engineering a menu and understanding what keeps a venue going for years.
What We're Looking For
- Experience as a Head Chef in a comparable venue
- Strong leadership and communication
- A calm, professional presence in the kitchen
- Creativity backed by structure and organisation
- A solid handle on rostering, staffing and food cost
- Someone who enjoys mentoring and building a team
Most of all, someone who cares about hospitality, culture and sticking around. Why EMBR?
EMBR is growing and there's long-term opportunity across the group for the right person.
You'll be joining a fun, ambitious and supportive team with systems already in place. The Bar Lune kitchen crew are well versed and keen to keep learning from a new Head Chef.
If you want to build something that lasts, we'd love to hear from you.
Salary
Depending on experience.
We look forward to hearing from you.
