HEAD CHEF | TATLER LANE BY SWEETBREW

An award-winning café. An established reputation. Your prospect to lead what comes next.

Launceston, Tasmania | Full-Time

We're not looking for someone to simply run our kitchen. We're looking for someone who wants to lead it, inspire their team and help shape what comes next.

ABOUT US

Tatler Lane by Sweetbrew is an 80-plus-seat, multi-award-winning brunch and evening destination and specialty coffee roastery in the heart of Launceston.

Recognised with Gold – Best Café at the Tasmanian Hospitality Awards, we've built our reputation on creative, contemporary and culturally inspired food, exceptional coffee and genuine hospitality.

Our menu celebrates global influences, quality Tasmanian produce and a belief that brunch should be anything but ordinary.

We're proud of what we've created. Now we're looking for someone who can help take it further.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're seeking an experienced, creative and commercially minded Head Chef who understands the importance of both great food and great people.

Someone who shares our commitment to creative, contemporary food, understands the standards behind our reputation and brings the experience and leadership to consistently deliver at the highest level.

Just as importantly, we want a leader who genuinely enjoys mentoring, developing and inspiring their team.

You'll bring strong kitchen management skills, creativity, consistency and an understanding of the commercial realities of a busy hospitality venue, including food costs, labour management and kitchen operations.

We want a leader, not just a great cook.

WHAT WE OFFER

The opportunity to lead the kitchen of one of Tasmania's recognised award-winning cafés,



with genuine input into menu development and the future direction of our food offering.

You'll join an established hospitality business with a loyal following, a strong identity and owners who value creativity, quality and a positive kitchen culture.

Tatler Lane isn't simply another café. Before applying, take the time to understand who we are, what we're known for and the food we create.

What do you understand about our venue, our menu and our approach to food?

4. What would you bring?

We're not looking for a lengthy essay. We're looking for genuine thought, personality, ambition and an understanding of what makes us different.

Applications must address these questions to be considered.

WE'RE PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE BUILT. EXCITED ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT.

Tatler Lane has an established identity, a strong reputation and a team worth investing in.

We're looking for someone who understands what makes us special, shares our ambition and brings the ideas, experience and leadership to help us keep evolving.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear what you could bring to Tatler Lane.
