About us:
Irish Murphy’s Brisbane is a beloved, iconic Irish pub in the heart of the city, offering hearty traditional fare with a modern twist, paired with warm hospitality.
Trove Cocktail Bar, our neighbouring venue, takes a more avant-garde approach, creating innovative craft cocktails made from Australian native ingredients, accompanied by a menu that complements its sophisticated, local, and seasonal theme.
Though distinct in style, both venues share a fully equipped modern kitchen, and we are seeking an experienced Head Chef who can lead our team, overseeing culinary operations across both businesses while maintaining a balance between Irish comfort classics and Trove’s modern, native-inspired offerings.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and manage kitchen operations for both Irish Murphy’s and Trove Cocktail Bar.
Develop and execute creative, seasonal menus that reflect the distinct identities of both venues (Irish-inspired for Irish Murphy’s and native Australian for Trove).
Ensure food is prepared to the highest standards, with a focus on quality, presentation, and efficiency.
Maintain relationships with local suppliers and ensure sustainable and high-quality sourcing, especially native ingredients for Trove’s menu.
Manage inventory, food costs, and kitchen staff schedules to optimise efficiency.
Uphold strict food safety and hygiene standards in line with regulations.
Train and mentor kitchen staff, fostering a collaborative and positive work environment.
Collaborate with management teams to create menus that align with customer preferences and brand vision.
Qualifications and Experience:
Proven experience as a Head Chef or Senior Chef in a fast-paced restaurant or bar setting.
A passion for both traditional and innovative cuisines, with a flair for creating unique dishes.
Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
Experience with sourcing native ingredients or an eagerness to develop knowledge in this area.
Ability to manage multiple menus and concepts within one kitchen.
Familiarity with Irish cuisine and/or the ability to develop native ingredient-based dishes.
Commitment to sustainability and high standards in food quality and kitchen operations.
Excellent understanding of food safety and hygiene practices.
What We Offer:
The opportunity to shape the culinary direction of two distinct and exciting venues.
A collaborative and dynamic work environment.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
Opportunities for professional growth and creative input.
A chance to work with fresh, local, and native Australian ingredients.
