Sous Chef / Senior Chef de Partie
Franks Pizza Bar
Franks Pizza Bar began as a distillery, evolved into a cocktail bar, and has grown into a focused New York-style pizza concept delivering 40-60 covers per night across a tight, high-energy dinner service (Wednesday–Sunday).
We are seeking a capable Sous Chef — or a highly skilled Chef de Partie ready to step into leadership — who wants genuine responsibility, input, and progression.
This is not just a section-running role. It’s an opportunity to help shape and elevate a growing pizza program within a small, ambitious team.
The Role
This is a hands-on leadership position in a structured, systems-driven kitchen.
You will:
*
Lead dinner service with consistency and control
*
Take full operational responsibility for the kitchen in the Head Chef’s absence
*
Maintain high prep standards, organisation, and cleanliness
*
Uphold and refine systems to ensure quality and efficiency
*
Contribute to dough management, fermentation process, and menu development
*
Play a key role in the continued growth of the kitchen
You won’t just be executing — you’ll be helping build.
What We’re Looking For
*
Proven experience in a professional kitchen
*
Confident service leadership in high-intensity dinner environments
*
Strong pizza and dough knowledge, including fermentation control
*
Organisational skills and disciplined prep habits
*
Ambition to grow within a developing concept
*
Proven experience at Sous Chef level
This role suits someone thinking beyond their current title — someone ready to operate at Sous Chef level and grow with the business.
What We Offer
*
Starting at $21+ per hour, with higher rates considered for proven experience
*
Kitchen share of tips
*
5-day dinner operation (Wednesday–Sunday)
*
Clear progression opportunities as the concept develops
Start Date: ASAP
