About the role
Forget everything you know about a typical Head Chef role.
This isn't about running one kitchen, writing another menu, or punching the clock.
This is your chance to build something extraordinary.
We're searching for an exceptional culinary leader to take the reins of our growing café group and help shape what comes next. Someone with vision. Someone obsessed with quality. Someone who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo, inspire people, and create experiences that customers talk about long after they've left.
You'll lead a team of 15 chefs and cooks across 6 thriving café venues, working directly with the owners to redefine our food offering and drive the next chapter of our business.
Best of all? This is a daytime leadership role. Our venues operate for breakfast and lunch, meaning no late nights, no dinner service, and a lifestyle that's almost unheard of at this level.
If you've ever wanted the freedom to create, the authority to lead, and the opportunity to build a reputation that extends far beyond one kitchen... this is it.
We want a game changer.
Someone who wakes up thinking about food.
Someone who sees opportunities where everyone else sees problems.
Someone who has notebooks full of ideas, constantly asks, "How can we do this better?" and refuses to settle for average.
We're looking for someone who is hungry—not just to cook great food—but to build an incredible team, elevate a brand, and leave a legacy.
A talented team of 15 chefs and cooks
Six successful café venues
Menu development across the entire group
Food quality, consistency and innovation
Kitchen systems, training and culture
New concepts, seasonal launches and future venue openings
You'll have genuine influence over how our business evolves.
Your ideas won't sit in a folder.
They'll be brought to life.
You're an exceptional leader who earns respect through hard work.
You're creative but commercially smart.
You love developing people as much as developing dishes.
You understand that great kitchens are built on culture, consistency and relentless attention to detail.
Most importantly...
You're ready for something bigger than your current role.
This isn't just another salary.
This is an opportunity to build a future.
Outstanding salary package
Performance bonuses
Partnership opportunities for the right person
Genuine long-term career growth within a rapidly expanding hospitality group
Direct access to owners who value ideas and back great people
Creative freedom with real decision-making power
Daytime hours only – enjoy your evenings while leading at the highest level
We're not looking for someone to maintain what already exists.
We're looking for someone who wants to elevate it.
Someone who wants people in the industry to notice.
Someone who wants to look back in five years and say:
"I built that."
If you're chasing comfort, this probably isn't for you.
If you're chasing significance, impact and the opportunity of a lifetime...
We'd love to meet you.
