Head Chef

Bar Holiday

Lead the kitchen in a vibrant small to medium-sized Carlton bar / restaurant.

Bar Holiday has an opening for an experienced chef to lead our kitchen.

We’re a small to medium-sized neighbourhood bar and restaurant located in front of a park just on the edge of the CBD and Carlton.

Our food is honest and generous, sometimes Euro-leaning, but always with a satisfying home-cooked touch.

You’ll be working in an open kitchen in the middle of the venue, being able to see customers dining along with a lush green view out the window.

It’s a vibrant, busy and down to earth kitchen — customers will come up and say thank you as they walk out, and sometimes you'll run a dish you've just cooked direct to the table.

The role is full time comprising either 4 or 5 nights of service per week, depending on your preference. Duties include

• food preparation and execution during service, including meat and fish butchery
• kitchen ordering & stock management
• COGS calculations
• developing new dishes for menu updates
• overseeing and guiding other kitchen staff

If you've dined with us before, know what we do, and would like to be involved, we'd love to hear from you!

In short:

• Be part of a small, vibrant and thriving neighbourhood venue
• 3-5 years experience essential — you'll be running the kitchen
• Full time role, 4 or 5 nights per week (no overtime)
• Carlton/city fringe location
• Competitive salary
• Starting in July

Please note, it is important that applicants are familiar with the venue.
