You’ll work across our popular food outlets — Cast Iron Kitchen, Ada May Pantry, and Reload Café — where fresh, quality food and genuine service are what we’re all about.

In this role, you’ll:

This opportunity suits someone who’s available for split shifts covering both lunch and dinner service, including Friday nights, weekends, and weekday shifts.

As part of our recruitment process, all shortlisted candidates will complete relevant probity checks - including a Criminal History Check, reference checks, and right-to-work verification - all facilitated by Wests.

About you
You’re someone who enjoys working with people and takes pride in delivering great service. You bring a positive attitude to every shift, stay calm under pressure, and enjoy being part of a supportive, fast-paced team.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Previous experience in hospitality or catering (fast food or bistro experience is a plus)
• A genuine passion for customer service
• A strong work ethic and willingness to help where needed
• Great communication and teamwork skills
