Cafe Chef/Cook

Chef/Cook – Join a Unique and Vibrant Cafe Environment
Brisbane Motor Museum | Casual Position

About the Opportunity
We’re looking for a talented and experienced Chef/Cook to join the team at the Brisbane Motor Museum Cafe — a stylish and modern cafe set within one of Brisbane’s most exciting new venues.

The Brisbane Motor Museum is a purpose-built, architecturally designed destination showcasing a rotating display of vehicles and exhibits that change regularly throughout the year. Alongside the museum, our cafe delivers high-quality food and service to guests from all walks of life — from motoring enthusiasts to casual diners and private event guests. We take pride in presentation, quality, and creating a warm and professional atmosphere.

This casual role offers 2–4 days of consistent work each week, making it ideal for someone seeking reliable, ongoing shifts within a supportive and well-run environment.

If you’re passionate about great food and enjoy working in a well-equipped kitchen as part of a collaborative team, we’d love to hear from you. You'll have the chance to contribute to a quality-focused menu and occasionally support unique events hosted at the Museum.

What You’ll Be Doing
As a valued member of our cafe team, you’ll be involved in preparing and plating meals to a high standard, ensuring every dish reflects quality and attention to detail. During service, you’ll work alongside the cafe team to help maintain an efficient and collaborative kitchen environment.

You’ll also take responsibility for maintaining food safety compliance and hygiene standards, while ensuring the cafe and kitchen remain clean, organised, and visually presentable. Safety is always a priority, and your proactive approach will help ensure a secure and professional workspace. You’ll also assist with the scheduling and coordination of events and activities at the museum, offering added variety to your day-to-day work.

There may also be opportunities to contribute ideas to menu development and be involved in catering for private and museum-run events.

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience in food preparation and kitchen service

• Current Food Handling Certificate

• A strong focus on quality, consistency, and presentation

• Valid driver’s licence

• High attention to detail and personal pride in your work

• Positive, reliable, and proactive mindset

• Willingness to learn and grow in the role

• Capable of working both independently and collaboratively

• Able to adapt and think on your feet in a changing environment

• Unrestricted work rights in Australia

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• Daytime hours with a mix of weekday and weekend shifts

• Consistent roster with 3-5 days per week

• Opportunities to be part of event catering and menu development

• Supportive, small team culture

• Genuine work-life balance

• Free onsite parking

• Above-award pay and recognition

• Brand new, high-spec kitchen with quality equipment

• Convenient location with easy public and private transport access
