We’re seeking a Head Chef to lead the kitchen of a brand-new Mediterranean venue opening in early June, located on Phillip Street in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
This is a unique opportunity to join the founding team and shape a venue centred around Greek-influenced Mediterranean cuisine, with a focus on fresh, seasonal produce and elevated yet approachable dining.
Operating within a corporate environment, the venue will run Monday to Friday service only, focusing on lunch and dinner, with plans to grow a strong functions and events offering over time.
As Head Chef, you will take full ownership of the kitchen — from menu creation through to execution — building a high-performing team and setting the culinary standard from day one.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and delivering a Greek-inspired Mediterranean menu
- Leading, mentoring, and developing a professional kitchen team
- Driving consistency, quality, and presentation across all services
- Managing kitchen operations including rostering, ordering, and stock control
- Maintaining strong cost control across food, labour, and wastage
- Preparing the kitchen to support future functions and event service
- Ensuring compliance with food safety and WHS standards
- Collaborating with ownership on concept, direction, and growth
This is an ideal role for a chef looking for premium output without weekend service, while still being part of an exciting new opening.
