In the heart of Chatswood, Azabu Group operates two distinct Japanese venues just walking distance apart: Hanasuki (authentic hotpot) and Choji (premium yakiniku).

We’re building one cohesive, cross-trained kitchen crew to work across both spots. For you, that means stepping out of the same old routine and into a role with real variety, dialled-in kitchen systems, and the backing of a hospitality group that genuinely rewards hard work.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

- Reliable Casual Hours: A predictable, well-organised casual roster with consistent weekly shifts you can count on.
- Group-Wide Advantages: Enjoy a complimentary artisan cake from our patisserie on your birthday, discounts on vitamins and supplements to keep you feeling your best, plus generous staff perks across our venues and specialty produce.
- Learn from Leaders: Build your kitchen skills with ongoing, hands-on training from our Creative Director and Kitchen Manager.
- A True Career Path: Whether you want to step up on the line or move into full-time hours down the track, this position offers genuine opportunities for growth as the group expands.

Your Day-to-Day in the Kitchen:





- Supporting smooth prep and service across both of our Chatswood kitchens.
- Assisting with meat slicing and portioning, batching signature sauces, prepping fresh produce, and setting up sections.
- Working smart with established prep sheets, exact recipes, and strict food safety and hygiene standards.
- Taking pride in keeping prep areas, sections, and kitchen stations spotless, organised, and service-ready.

What You Bring to the Team:

- 1+ years' commercial kitchen experience (as a Cook, Kitchen Hand, or Commis).
- A reliable, punctual approach and a positive, team-first mindset.
- Eagerness to learn and work within structured kitchen systems.
- Availability across evenings and weekends.
- Experience with Japanese cuisine is a bonus, though we provide full training for the right person.
