HEAD CHEF & SOUS CHEF, EXCHANGE HOTEL, GAWLER, S.A.

$95K HEAD CHEF

$85K SOUS CHEF

The wonderful Exchange Hotel in Gawler is looking for a hands-on, commercially minded Head Chef and Sous chef to lead the kitchen at Murray’s BBQ & Bar, an established American BBQ and modern pub food venue.

This is not a quiet kitchen role. They are looking for leaders who can take ownership, steady the team, drive consistency and help shape the next stage of their food business.

Murray’s BBQ & Bar is known for smoked meats, pub classics, weekly specials, group bookings, functions and local hospitality. The right persons will enjoy leading a real pub kitchen with personality, pace and opportunity.

Key priorities for the Head Chef/Sous Chef role:

Lead and stabilise the kitchen team immediately.
Maintain and improve consistency across Murray’s BBQ & Bar, pub classics, specials, functions and events.
Build a stronger kitchen culture around accountability, prep discipline, service standards and communication.
Work with ownership on menu direction, food GP, labour control, ordering and waste reduction.
Mentor and help recruit the Sous Chef and broader kitchen team.
Bring calm leadership to a busy outer-suburban hotel environment.

The ideal candidate would have:

Proven Head Chef or strong senior Sous Chef experience in a busy pub, hotel, bistro or large-format hospitality venue.
Strong people leadership skills.
Commercial understanding of food cost, labour, prep systems and kitchen profitability.
Ability to work in a practical, hands-on kitchen — not someone who only wants a “creative chef” title.
Experience with smoked meats, grill, pub food, functions or high-volume casual dining would be highly regarded.
Strong communication with front-of-house and management.
No sponsorship available sorry.
