Head Chef

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
