• Location: Work at the beautiful Darwin Waterfront with world-class views every single day.
• Culture: Join a team where hospitality is "in the blood." No egos—just high-performance professionals striving to be the best.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Own the Pass: Supervise lower-level team members and ensure every plate exceeds expectations.
• Master the Menu: Detailed prep and cooking, regulating our charcoal equipment, and monitoring quality at every stage.
• The Business of Food: Assist with ordering, stock rotation, menu planning, and ensuring Food Safety is non-negotiable.
• Mentor the Next Gen: Train apprentices and junior staff, passing on your skills to the next wave of talent.

ARE YOU THE ONE?
