Kitchen Hand | Japanese Mountain Retreat, Montrose Casual Award wages
Japanese Mountain Retreat is a couples-only mineral springs and day spa retreat in the Dandenong Ranges, about 45 minutes from Melbourne. We cook for a small number of guests each day, from breakfast to our four-course Japanese omakase dinners, so every plate gets real care and attention.
We're looking for a kitchen hand who loves food and wants to learn. You'll be part of a small, close-knit team and work directly with our head chef. It's a excellent way into the industry for someone keen to build real kitchen skills.
What you'll do
Basic food prep: washing, peeling, chopping, portioning and setting the chef up for service
Keep the kitchen clean and organised: dishes, benches, floors and storage
Help receive and put away deliveries
Follow food safety and hygiene standards
Help out wherever the team needs you
