Full Job Description

LOQUITA TAQUERIA is hunting for an ambitious Chef / Kitchen Manager to run the show at Garema Place, located in the heart of Canberra.

This is not your average kitchen gig. There is no line structure, no delegation, and nowhere to hide!

We need a one-person culinary powerhouse—or a hungry Sous Chef ready for the ultimate step up—who thrives on absolute autonomy and is ready to crush a fast-paced, high-energy environment entirely on their own terms.

The Challenge

You are the kitchen. From the morning prep to the final taco of the night, you will own the entire lifecycle. If you are a Sous Chef tired of waiting for your boss to move, or an experienced operator who loves the adrenaline of running a tight ship without anyone getting in your way, this is your playground.

Your Kingdom

Be the Machine: Smash out high-quality prep and service completely on your own.
Master the Stock: Own the ordering, stock rotation, and wastage control like a boss.
Guard the Flavor: Keep our established recipes and presentation standards locked down.
Keep it Spotless: Maintain a tight, clean, and fully compliant food safety setup.
Rule the Costs: Keep food costs in check to smash business profitability targets.

Who You Are

The Next-Step Striver: A seasoned Sous Chef hungry to prove you can run a whole operation, or an established Head Chef/independent operator.
The Speed Demon: Lightning-fast output with clean, organized working habits.
The Organizer: Sharp skills when dealing with suppliers, ordering, and inventory.
The Certified Pro: You hold a current food safety supervisor certification.
The Vibe: High energy, self-motivated, and genuinely obsessed with Mexican street food.

What’s in it for You?

Financial Upside: Performance-based bonuses directly tied to hitting food cost and profitability targets.
Total Freedom: Complete operational control in a popular, high-footflow city-centre venue.
Solid Package: A highly competitive base salary that respects your grind.
No Bureaucracy: Direct, straightforward communication with management. [1, 2]

Ready to stop managing people, step up, and start ruling your own kitchen? Apply now with your CV and Cover Letter explaining why you are the right person for the job.
