Lead the Kitchen at One of Sydney's Established Italian Restaurants

  • Deliver high-quality, authentic Italian cuisine
  • Inspire, train and mentor the kitchen team
  • Manage ordering, stock control and food costs
  • Maintain food safety and kitchen standards
  • Work with management on seasonal specials and menu development
  • Ensure smooth, efficient service every shift

About You

You'll ideally have:

  • Previous experience as a Head Chef, or be a talented Senior Sous Chef ready for your next step
  • Strong experience in Italian cuisine
  • Excellent leadership and communication skills
  • The ability to stay calm and organised during busy service
  • A passion for producing consistently high-quality food
  • Pride in running an efficient, professional kitchen

Why Join Ristorante Papa?

  • Competitive salary (based on experience)
  • Consistent Wednesday to Sunday roster
  • Genuine autonomy to lead your kitchen
  • Supportive and experienced ownership team
  • Long-term career opportunity within the Papa Group
  • Established venue with loyal customers and steady trade
  • Opportunity to influence menu development
  • Stable, family-owned hospitality business

About Us
