Events Bartender / Cocktail Mixologist / Barista Roles

About us:

We're not your average Sydney-based hospitality group. We're all about shaking things up with our diverse brands, from our premium events business Cook & Waiter, to Food Rascal where we partner with like minded organisations to provide their in-house workplace hospitality catering experiences, to our fresh-out-of-the-oven Rascal Bakehouse, and new Sydney venue Saltbox.

We’re known for shaking up the traditional with high-end, imaginative events that leave a lasting impression. From luxe corporate parties to next-level private dinners, we bring flavour, flair, and fun to every plate. We do creative workplace catering at Australia's biggest tech company in the City, and we also do events in other Sydney venues where we are on the events and catering panel, we are the catering and front of house for some of the world's biggest fashion brands, and we do major events such as Polo.

Our culture is driven by our values: Everyone has a seat at our table, Plant the Seed, Flip the Raspberry and Stay Humble Apple Crumble. We are creative and we think big. Check out more about us here: www.cookandwaiter.com.au www.saltboxvenue.com.au https://foodrascal.com.au
