We’re on the hunt for Commis Chefs and Chefs de Partie at Tippy-Tay to join our vivacious new Italian restaurant, Tippy-Tay. 

Positioned in the cosmopolitan heart of Flinders Lane, amongst some of the most infamous laneways and innovative restaurants in the country, sits Garden State Hotel; and within this botanical oasis shines a yellow framed doorway to an Italian playground.  With a fusion of bold and bright colours, walls lined with over 3000 vintage glass bottles, negroni fountains, mismatched plates and not a white tablecloth in sight, Tippy-Tay is bringing European summer to the heart of our city.

The Tippy-Tay experience is one of vibrance, abundance and frivolity.  Leave the rules at the door and give in to the soul of an Italian dinner party – the theatre, the mess and the celebration.

Our people are the heart of our business so we’re determined to find an absolute legend to help us bring Tippy-Tay to life.  Someone who shares our values, who brings passion and positivity, who drives their own growth and the growth of their team, and isn’t afraid to challenge us and the way things have 'always been done' in order to find the best solutions.

With ongoing training, there will be ample opportunity to further your skills and progress your career within the growing Sand Hill Road family.

So, if you are a Chef who has:

• At least 2 years’ experience in a similar role
• A love of great food
• Confidence leading and managing an efficient team
• Understanding of control measures, COGS, and KPI's
• A passion for developing staff
• Experience in developing creative menus
• Understanding of computer-based stock management systems an advantage but not necessary
• And, of course, relevant experience making Italian cuisine,

We would love to meet you!
