Key points we found
- Join a vibrant kitchen at Sunset Pier Café on Bribie Island.
- Contribute to menu ideas and oversee food quality and costs.
- Lead by example in food safety and team collaboration.
If you've ever wanted to work somewhere that genuinely feels special, Sunset Pier might just be it. We're a licensed café/restaurant sitting right on the water at Bribie Island, with views across the Pumicestone Passage to the Glasshouse Mountains that honestly never get old. Since 2017, we have built something the whole community is proud of a place where locals and visitors come for great food, good coffee, and that easy coastal vibe that's hard to find anywhere else.
We do everything from lazy weekend breakfasts and fresh seafood lunches to birthday celebrations, functions, and intimate weddings. It's a busy, vibrant kitchen with a lot of heart.
The Role
We're looking for a Chef who genuinely loves what they do. Someone who gets a buzz out of a well-run service, takes pride in every plate, and wants to be part of a kitchen that actually cares about the food, the team, and the guests walking through the door.
This is a role with real substance to it. You won't just be cooking, you'll have a hand in shaping how the kitchen runs.
What You'll Be Doing
- Contribute ideas to the menu, keep an eye on food and labour costs, and take charge of ordering so the kitchen never misses a beat
- Watch over quality at every step, from the first bit of prep to the moment the plate leaves the pass
- Stay in close contact with the front-of-house team and management so service flows the way it should
- Pass on what you know, show the team proper techniques and help lift everyone's game
- Cook across our full breakfast and lunch menu with consistency and care
- Lead by example when it comes to food safety and hygiene, and make sure the whole team follows suit
- Help bring new starters into the fold and build a kitchen crew that works well together
- Handle food storage the right way, including freezing and preserving when needed
Who We're Looking For
You don't need to have worked in a hatted restaurant — but you do need to know your way around a busy kitchen and care deeply about the food you put out. You're someone who communicates well, stays calm when it gets hectic, and lifts the people around you rather than just looking after your own section.
A Certificate III or IV in Commercial Cookery is a plus, but real experience and the right attitude will always speak louder. You'll need to be available on weekends and public holidays.
What's In It For You
- A workplace with a view that'll make your friends genuinely jealous
- A team that's been working together for years and actually enjoys showing up
- The chance to put your creativity into specials and help shape what the kitchen becomes
- Competitive pay under the Restaurant Industry Award
- Part-time or full-time arrangements considered, let's have a conversation
