Eligibility Requirement: This position is open to Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents only. Applicants must have full working rights in Australia to be considered.

The Kitchen Manager is responsible for the overall management, performance and daily operations of the kitchen at CoCo ICHIBANYA Australia, with primary responsibility for all Back of House (BOH) activities.

The primary responsibility of this position is to ensure the consistent implementation, execution and enforcement of CoCo ICHIBANYA Japan’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), recipes, food preparation methods, quality standards and kitchen operational requirements.

The Kitchen Manager is expected to take full ownership of kitchen operations, ensuring that food quality, consistency, cleanliness, food safety, staff performance, operational efficiency and food cost control consistently meet company expectations.

This is a hands-on kitchen management position,



not solely a supervisory or administrative role. The Kitchen Manager is expected to actively participate in daily food preparation, cooking, plating, cleaning and service operations alongside the kitchen team whenever reasonably required.

The position requires strong operational discipline, leadership, accountability and the ability to independently manage kitchen operations while maintaining the standards established by CoCo ICHIBANYA Japan and Australian management.

The successful candidate must be comfortable working in a quick-paced, high-volume restaurant environment, where speed, accuracy, teamwork and consistency are essential to the successful operation of the business.

Pay: $70,000.00 – $80,000.00 per year
