CHEFS WANTED | Full-Time | Beachfront Venue | No Late Nights
Aquavue Beachfront Bar & Eatery – Hervey Bay QLD
Two Full-Time Positions Available | Immediate Start | Hervey Bay
Love hospitality, but not the burnout that often comes with it?
Aquavue Beachfront Bar & Eatery is looking for two experienced Chefs or Cooks to join our busy kitchen team in full-time positions.
Located directly on the beachfront in Torquay, Aquavue is a high-volume, well-established venue with a strong local following, busy tourist trade and a team focused on producing great food in a fast-paced but supportive environment.
These positions include a combination of day and early evening shifts (with no late-night finishes).
We are looking for people who know their way around a busy kitchen, take pride in what they put on the plate and want to become reliable, long-term members of a positive and hardworking team.
Why Work at Aquavue?
Hospitality doesn't have to mean burnout, unhealthy hours or finishing work at midnight.
At Aquavue, we are focused on building a workplace that supports healthy habits, sustainable working hours and a positive team culture.
We want our team to work hard while they are here, support one another, take pride in what they do and still have a life outside of work.
You'll get:
Full-time, secure employment
Day and early evening shifts
No late-night finishes
A workplace that promotes healthy habits and work-life balance
A team culture built around respect, accountability and supporting each other
50% staff discount
A beachfront workplace in one of Hervey Bay's best locations
A busy venue with consistent hours and trade
Supportive kitchen and management leadership
Opportunities to contribute ideas and creativity
Competitive remuneration based on your experience and capability
Immediate start available
The opportunity to build a long-term role within an established and growing local business




About the Role
You'll be working across a busy kitchen producing consistent, quality meals while helping keep service running smoothly.
Your responsibilities will include:
Preparing and cooking menu items to Aquavue's standards
Maintaining consistency, presentation and portion control
Managing your section confidently during busy services
Completing food preparation efficiently and accurately
Maintaining a clean, organised and food-safe kitchen
Following food safety, hygiene and WHS requirements
Supporting your fellow kitchen team during busy periods
Assisting with stock rotation, preparation and kitchen organisation
Contributing ideas and helping us continually improve our food offering
Taking ownership of your role and helping maintain a strong team environment
Who We're Looking For
We're not just looking for someone who can cook.
We're looking for someone who is dependable, productive, team-focused and takes pride in doing their job well.
You'll ideally have:
Previous experience working as a Chef or experienced Cook
Experience in a busy café, restaurant, pub or similar high-volume environment
Confidence working under pressure
Strong food preparation and cooking skills
Good attention to detail and presentation
A strong understanding of cleanliness and food safety
The ability to communicate and work well with others
A positive attitude and willingness to contribute to the team
Reliable availability across weekdays and weekends




The ability to start immediately or within a short timeframe
Formal chef qualifications are highly regarded, however experienced cooks with strong practical ability are also encouraged to apply.
We value attitude, reliability and capability just as highly as what is written on a piece of paper.
The Hours
These are full-time positions involving a mixture of day shifts + early evening shifts
Aquavue is not a late-night restaurant, meaning you can work full-time in hospitality without regularly sacrificing your entire evening.
Weekend availability is required due to the nature of the industry, however our operating style allows our kitchen team to maintain a much healthier balance than many traditional hospitality venues.
About Aquavue
Aquavue Beachfront Bar & Eatery is an established Hervey Bay venue located directly opposite the beach in Torquay.
We are a busy and continually evolving business serving locals and visitors across breakfast, lunch and early dinner, alongside events, functions and takeaway offerings.
We care about providing a great experience for our customers, but equally, we believe a strong business starts with a strong team.
That means maintaining high standards while creating an environment where people are treated with respect, held accountable, encouraged to grow and supported to perform at their best.
We're continuing to strengthen our kitchen operation and are looking for two great people who want to become an significant part of what we're building.
Ready for a Change?
If you're an experienced Chef or Cook looking for full-time stability, great hours, a beachfront workplace, a healthier team culture and no late-night finishes, we'd love to hear from you.
We have two positions available and are looking to appoint as soon as possible.
Immediate starts available for the right candidates.
