Calling All Culinary Creatives: We’re Redefining Modern Luxury — and We Need You in the Kitchen

About Us:
We’re not just serving food — we’re creating experiences. Our collection of iconic restaurants and hotels across Cape Town is shaking up what luxury hospitality means today. It’s bold. It’s personal. It’s elevated. And now we’re expanding.

That means more kitchens. And more space for chefs who want to do more than just cook.

Who We’re Looking For:
We’re building our team with Sous Chefs and Head Chefs who are hungry (pun intended) to push boundaries, lead from the pass, and deliver dishes that make people feel something.

Whether you’re a seasoned Head Chef with serious vision, or a rising Sous Chef ready to take the next step — if you’ve got the skill and the spark, we want to meet you.

Your Kitchen Ethos:

  • You’ve got at least 2 years’ experience in a luxury or high-end kitchen
  • You know how to lead a team without losing the vibe
  • You’re obsessed with consistency — and creativity
  • You’ve got the technical skills and the taste
  • You respect the classics but aren’t afraid to play
  • You thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where standards matter

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead or support the day-to-day kitchen operations with precision and flair
  • Mentor and manage your brigade with energy and respect
  • Ensure every plate is on point — from prep to pass
  • Collaborate with FOH to create seamless guest experiences
  • Uphold health, hygiene, and safety standards like a pro
  • Keep costs sharp and stock under control

What Success Looks Like:

  • Guests remembering your food long after they leave
  • A kitchen crew that runs like a well-oiled (but passionate) machine
  • Clean, efficient service with creativity at the core
  • Zero compromise on quality — even on your busiest night
  • A sense of pride every time a plate hits the pass

What’s In It for You:

  • A competitive salary package
  • Career growth in one of the most exciting hospitality brands in the city
  • Creative freedom within a luxury brand that celebrates innovation
  • Work in iconic locations across Cape Town
  • Be part of a team that’s passionate, driven, and redefining what great food means in modern luxury

Ready to Cook at the Next Level?
Send us your CV. Whether you’re a Sous Chef ready to step up, or a Head Chef looking for your next challenge — we want to hear from you.

Due to high volumes of applications, if you haven’t heard from us in two weeks, please consider your application unsuccessful.

This isn’t just another job in another kitchen. It’s your next big move.
