Chef
C4R Holdings Pty Ltd trading as Atlas
West Perth WA 6005
Full time, ongoing, 38 hours per week
AUD 80,000 to AUD 85,000 per year plus superannuation
About the business
Atlas is a cafe and all day dining venue on Hay Street in West Perth, operated by C4R Holdings Pty Ltd. We serve a modern Australian breakfast and lunch menu with strong Asian influences, prepared fresh on site each day, alongside specialty coffee. The venue trades seven days a week and the team is made up of eight people across the kitchen and front of house.
About the role
We are looking for a full time Chef to join our kitchen. The Chef reports to the Head Chef, works alongside a kitchen hand, and is responsible for running the kitchen section through service, preparing our menu to a consistent standard, and leading the kitchen when the Head Chef is not on site. This is an ongoing position, not a casual or seasonal one.
Key responsibilities
● Prepare and cook dishes across our all day breakfast and lunch menu to the standard and presentation set for the venue
● Plan and portion daily preparation so that service runs without gaps through peak trade
● Develop and test new dishes and monthly specials together with the Head Chef, including seasonal changes to the menu
● Cost menu items, monitor portion control and keep food cost within agreed targets
● Order stock, receive deliveries, check quality on arrival and deal with kitchen suppliers
● Monitor stock levels, rotate product and keep wastage to a minimum
● Supervise and train the kitchen hand and any junior kitchen staff in preparation methods and presentation
● Maintain food safety, hygiene and cleaning standards in line with the Food Standards Code, and complete the required records
● Operate and maintain kitchen equipment, and report faults
● Take charge of the kitchen and supervise service in the absence of the Head Chef
Skills and experience required
● A trade qualification in commercial cookery at Certificate III level or above, or an equivalent recognised qualification
● At least two years of paid full time experience working as a chef in a commercial kitchen. Time worked as a kitchen hand or in fast food service does not count towards this
● Demonstrated experience running a high volume breakfast and lunch service, including eggs cooked to order and fast plating turnaround
● Practical experience preparing Asian influenced dishes such as katsu, udon and rice bowls, or a demonstrated ability to cook to a set recipe standard in this style
● Experience with menu costing, portion control and stock ordering
● A current Food Safety Supervisor certificate, or the ability to obtain one before starting
● Ability to supervise and train junior kitchen staff
● Available for early morning starts from 6.00 am and for weekend work on a rotating roster
