TOAST South Coast:

The Eddy Merimbula Café Pambula Toast Eden (Eden Ground Cafe)

Pay: 80,000-89,000 p/a super

Job type: Casual or Permanent

Location: Merimbula and/or Pambula or Eden NSW

Join the TOAST South Coast team.

We’re looking for a qualified Chef to join our TOAST South Coast team at The Eddy Merimbula and Café Pambula and Toast Eden.

We’re a café environment where your job is to make someone’s day. Backed by our local community over eight years, we’ve built a great reputation for thoughtful, Instagram-worthy food and authentic hospitality.

Our kitchens are busy. Think incredibly busy café services, catering gigs and the occasional seasonal push - but very rarely split shifts.

We’re ready for a new chef with inspiring leadership know-how and creative ideas to share, who will fit right in with our energetic team of hospitality pros who genuinely love what they do.

About the role

You’ll need the skills to run a tight kitchen: organised, calm under pressure and able to move through a busy service without losing sight of quality or the people around you.

Depending on your experience and what you're looking for, your role could include:

- Running and supporting busy café services
- Prep, service and maintaining an organised kitchen
- Contributing creatively to menus and specials
- Supporting and leading other members of the kitchen team
- Maintaining consistency, presentation and quality
- Catering and occasional off-site events
- Managing supplier relationships and financial KPIs
- Working closely with our café managers, chefs and owners

You won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be supported by an existing team of chefs,



passionate and engaged owners, experienced managers and a crew who have been doing hospitality together for a long time.

What we’re looking for

You’ll need

- Commercial cookery qualifications
- Solid experience in a professional kitchen
- The skills and organisation to keep a tight kitchen
- Confidence working through high-volume café services
- Leadership capability and a willingness to contribute creatively
- A collaborative approach and genuine respect for the people you work with
- Australian citizenship or appropriate working rights
- Most importantly, alignment with our values around consistency, connection and community

What we can offer

We’re open to working flexibly with the right person.

Casual or permanent roles are available, with remuneration offered based on experience and employment arrangement.

You can make your mark working in one venue or work across both The Eddy and Café Pambula. There are opportunities to get involved in catering and events, contribute creatively and take on leadership responsibility for someone looking for their next step.

And while hospitality will always have its big days, endless split shifts aren't how we operate.

If you’re a excellent chef looking for a busy kitchen, good people and a South Coast hospitality life with an established independent hospitality group, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a little bit about yourself. We’d love to know what you’re looking for in your next kitchen.Email [email protected] or contact Nicky directly on 0412 076 103.

Pay: $75,000.00 – $90,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
