Delmonte is a new Italian restaurant and wine room opening within the King & Godfree building, on the corner of Lygon and Faraday Street, in the heart of Carlton.

Part of a broader precinct alongside Garfield Pizzeria, Johnny’s Green Room and Pidapipo, Delmonte will operate as a wine-led neighbourhood restaurant, focused on seasonal food and consistent execution.

We are building a skilled kitchen team across all levels. This is a structured setting where quality, organisation and efficiency are key, supported by robust leadership and clear standards. The kitchen is centred around pasta, a wood fired grill and classic techniques.

Delmonte is designed for repeat trade and consistent service - requiring a kitchen that can deliver at pace, every day.

THE ROLE

You will be responsible for being part of the brigade, and maintaining standards worthy of the building's history — and its next era.

You will:

• Develop and elevate a full kitchen brigade
• Deliver dishes with precision, seasonality and purpose
• Drive culture — discipline, teamwork, momentum, pride
• Contribute to ordering, supplier relationships & stock integrity




• Collaborate with two other venues on site for alignment + efficiency
• Be focused on training, growth pathways and skill development
• Set the tone — calm, structured, confident
• Deliver consistency nightly, not occasionally

This is a role for someone who wants to execute and scale excellence.

WHO YOU ARE

You bring:

• Technical strength
• Ability to collaborate across venues, departments & service styles
• A calm tone, steady hands & high communication
• Commitment to culture — consistency, cleanliness, care

You make people better — and the food better because of it.

WHY THIS IS RARE

• A brand-current, state of the art kitchen — built right, equipped properly
• Premium produce, real suppliers, no shortcuts
• Opportunity to shape a restaurant rather than inherit one
• Three venues under the same roof — diversity, scale, creativity
• A chance to build a legacy inside a historic Melbourne building
• Work with an experienced, people-focused leadership team

This is a job for someone who wants to build a benchmark — not just execute services
