WE’RE LOOKING FOR A CHEF.
Maybe you’re a restaurant chef who still loves making great food, but you’re well and truly over the nights.
Maybe you’re already working in a great café and you’re ready for a kitchen you can really make your own.
We’re looking for an experienced Café Chef to join us full-time at Heyday.
It’s a small kitchen with plenty of room for creativity. We want someone with a strong feel for contemporary brunch food, seasonal plates, great sandwiches, baking and sweets — and, most importantly, someone with ideas of their own.
$75K + super
Daytime hours
No regular night shifts
Creative input into menus + specials
A genuinely great little team
Support for professional development + culinary courses
You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day kitchen — from menu development and prep through to ordering, stock, food costs (training available) and consistency — while working closely with us on where we take Hey Dat’s food next.
We’re an established, busy independent café with big plans for the future, and we’d love to find someone who wants to grow with us.
Over restaurant hours, but not over making interesting food?
We should talk.
Send your resume + a little about yourself to [email protected]. And if you know someone who sounds perfect for this, please send this their way.
The full job description is available on our website. Link in bio.
