🔥 HEAD CHEF WANTED – BRING THE FIRE, OWN THE PASS! 🔥
Ready to run the show in one of Nelson’s busiest and most exciting restaurants? Tired of the same old humdrum kitchen vibe? This is your moment.
We’re on the hunt for a dynamic Head Chef with serious skill, bold creativity, and a personality that lights up the kitchen. This is a from-scratch, high-energy environment where your ideas matter, your leadership counts, and your food speaks loud.
What We’re Looking For:
✨ A true leader who can command a busy service with confidence and calm ✨ A passionate foodie who keeps menus fresh, seasonal, and exciting ✨ Fearless creativity — while maintaining consistently epic dishes ✨ A team builder who inspires, empowers, and elevates everyone around them ✨ Someone who thrives in an open-style kitchen and brings positive, contagious energy ✨ Proven experience leading a culinary team with flair, structure, and vision
We want more than a chef — we want a vibe setter. Someone who creates a kitchen culture where ideas flow, standards stay high, and the team feels pumped to show up every day. When your crew feels empowered and excited, the magic happens — and that’s the energy we’re building.
If you’re ready to step into a kitchen where your leadership, creativity, and personality truly shine — we want to hear from you.
🚨 IMPORTANT: Applicants must currently be in New Zealand and hold the relevant visa.
This isn’t just another Head Chef role. It’s your stage. Apply now and let’s create something unforgettable. 🍽️🔥
