Chef de Partie – The Hideaway Bondi | Competitive pay + super | Full-Time | May 7th Opening

Open Pantry Co. is proud to be partnering with the team at The Hideaway Bondi to help build their kitchen brigade ahead of their April opening.

Unfortunately, this venue can not sponsor chefs for the first 12-months so please keep that in mind when applying, we also need chefs who are available from the 7th of May when the venue is due to open.

We're opening a 200-seat New York steakhouse in Bondi this May and we need a CDP who doesn't need hand-holding.

Good product. Proper cuts. A menu that has a point of view. Volume that'll test you but won't break you, if you're the right fit.  We're not chasing trends. We're building a room people come back to.
 
What the job actually looks like:

• You run your section. Not sort-of run it, actually own it
• Services of 150-300 covers. Busy is the baseline
• Mise en place that holds up, not just looks good at 5pm
• You're the person the commis watches to learn how it's done
• Tight kitchen: no room to hide and no reason to 

What we're looking for:

• You've done this before and you were good at it
• You don't panic. You prep better next time
• You respect the food, the team, and the guest. In that order
• Strong Commis ready to step up? We'll back you if the attitude is right

Why it's worth your time:

• The pay is competitive and we mean it, not a number designed to negotiate you down
• You're in from the start, which matters more than most people realise
• A leadership team that knows what they're doing
• Bondi isn't a bad place to spend your working week

 
If it sounds like your kind of kitchen, reach out. Happy to have a conversation before you commit to anything.
