Chef

About us:

Moore & Moore Cafe is an established, much-loved Fremantle cafe set in the heritage Moores Building. We serve fresh, seasonal, locally sourced and sustainable produce — free-range and organic meats, organic eggs, and menus catering to gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan and paleo diets. Alongside our daily breakfast and lunch service we run a signature Moroccan High Tea and a busy events and private-function kitchen.

We are seeking an experienced, full-time Chef to join our kitchen team and help deliver the fresh, seasonal food our regulars expect in a high-volume, produce-driven cafe. Reporting to the Head Chef, you will play a key role in day-to-day food preparation and service, menu execution, and maintaining our quality and consistency.

• Run your kitchen section: food preparation, station set-up, quality control and presentation.

• Follow and help maintain food safety, hygiene and HACCP standards, keeping a clean, safe kitchen.

• Assist with stock control, ordering, supplier liaison and wastage/margin control.

• Prepare dietary-specific options (GF, DF, vegetarian, vegan, paleo) to our menu specifications.

• Help train and supervise junior kitchen staff and support recruitment as needed.

• Contribute to catering for weddings, private events and functions, including the Moroccan High Tea service.

Skills and experience required:

• A relevant qualification in commercial cookery / kitchen management (Certificate IV or above), or equivalent experience.

• Substantial demonstrated experience as a chef in a busy commercial kitchen.

• Strong menu development, costing and kitchen-management skills.

• Sound knowledge of food safety and hygiene standards.

• Ability to lead and mentor a team in a fast-paced environment.

What we offer:

• Full-time, ongoing position.

• Annual salary of $79,500 – $81,000 plus superannuation, commensurate with experience.

• A unique heritage venue in the heart of Fremantle with a supportive, values-driven team.
