We’re a busy gourmet grocer with a strong focus on fresh, high-quality food made in-house daily.

We’re looking for a reliable, fast, and organised production cook / kitchen hand to support day-to-day prep and cooking, and keep things running smoothly.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role — not a creative or menu development position.

The role could suit part-time or full-time - we have part time available for purely kitchen, approximately 25hrs/week, or more if you are happy to mix it up and do some front-of-house (serving at the counter, making juices).

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

- Preparing salads, sandwiches, and simple hot items to a high standard
- Following established recipes exactly and consistently
- Managing your prep list and getting through it efficiently
- Keeping a clean, organised workspace
- Working independently once up to speed

Support will be available, but you need to be comfortable getting the job done without constant supervision.

What We’re Looking For

- Solid experience in a quick-paced kitchen, cafe, or similar environment
- Strong organisation and time management
- Ability to work quickly without sacrificing consistency
- Good basic food sense and attention to detail
- Reliable,



calm under pressure, and easy to work with

This role suits someone who enjoys structure and getting things done well — not someone looking to reinvent dishes or lead a kitchen creatively.

Important

- Recipes and systems are already in place — you must be happy following them exactly
- If you prefer to put your own spin on dishes, this isn’t the role
- We value consistency, speed, and reliability over creativity

Hours & Pay

- Part-time or Full-time, daytime hours (no nights)
- Salary: ~$65,000 depending on experience and whether full time or part time

To Apply

Please apply with a short note about your experience and the kind of kitchen environments you’ve worked in.

Brief trial shift will be part of the process.

Thank you!

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $65,000.00 per year

- When you have a large prep list and limited time, how do you approach it?
- What kind of kitchen environment do you work best in?
- Why does this role appeal to you?
- Please describe your experience working with set recipes and systems?
