About the role
We're looking for a Head Chef to lead our kitchen at the new Rosemont Hotel.
This is a hands-on leadership role in a busy Adelaide CBD sports bar and pub. You'll be running service, leading the team, and shaping a menu that works in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. You'll have real input here — from menu direction to kitchen culture.
What you'll be doing
- Run day-to-day kitchen operations and keep service consistent
- Create simple, seasonal menus that suit a busy pub environment
- Lead, train, and support the kitchen team on shift
- Keep food safety, hygiene, and standards tight at all times
- Work with management on specials, events, and venue direction
- Manage stock, suppliers, and kitchen costs
- Keep service moving during peak trade without losing quality
What we're looking for
- 5+ years experience as a Head Chef (or strong Sous Chef ready to step up) in a busy kitchen
- A minimum of 4-5 years total kitchen experience is required
- Either a formal culinary qualification or strong equivalent experience
- Formal commercial cookery qualification is strongly preferred
- Experience running high-volume service in pubs, sports bars, or similar venues
- Ability to build menus that are simple, efficient, and consistent
- Strong leadership style — calm, clear, and hands-on
- Good understanding of food safety and kitchen organisation
- Someone who actually enjoys leading a team in a fast environment
What we offer
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Supportive leadership team and clear direction
- Opportunity to help shape a relaunch venue from day one
- Busy, high-energy environment with real ownership of your kitchen
- Room to build systems and make the kitchen your own
