Job Description

Chef de Partie - Vitelli's Upstairs

Vitelli's Upstairs is an Italian restaurant and bar in Redfern, taking cues from old New York red-sauce joints.

We're looking for a Chef de Partie who knows their way around a busy section and wants to be part of something worth cooking for.

What you'll be doing

• Cooking and plating dishes to spec, every service, every time
• Mentoring and guiding junior kitchen staff and setting the standard on your section
• Contributing ideas to menu development — we're always evolving
• Keeping across stock and flagging what needs ordering
• Maintaining a clean, organised workstation (non-negotiable)
• Working closely with the Head Chef to keep service running smoothly

What we're looking for

• Solid experience as a Chef de Partie in a high-volume kitchen
• A culinary qualification, or the experience to back it up
• Strong food safety and hygiene knowledge
• Calm under pressure, good with people, and proud of your craft
• A genuine interest in Asian cuisines is a bonus, but not essential

If this sounds like your kind of kitchen, we'd love to hear from you.
