About Us:
BOTH espresso & wine is a new café and wine bar opening soon in Runaway Bay. We're a locally owned venue serving specialty coffee, fresh brunch, curated wines, and cocktails — all in a modern, relaxed space designed to feel like home.
We're now looking for a skilled and reliable Chef or Cook to assist our kitchen operations during the day and grow with us as we expand into casual weekend night service.

Responsibilities include:
Prepping and executing our breakfast/lunch menu
Maintaining a clean, organised, and safe kitchen
Stock and prep management
Collaborating with the owners on menu development
Supporting the team and contributing to a positive kitchen culture
What We're Looking For:
Experience in a café or brunch-style kitchen (preferred but not essential)
Strong food prep and time management skills
A passion for fresh, simple food
Clean, calm, and reliable work ethic
Someone excited to be part of a new venue from the ground up
Flexibility to work weekdays and potentially some weekend evenings
What You'll Get:
A chance to shape a new kitchen and menu
Daytime hours (with future casual night shifts)
Supportive and down-to-earth owners
A respectful and fun team culture
Opportunity to grow with the business
