Senior Sous Chef | Bar Totti's

The Venue

Bar Totti’s is where Sydney drops in for everything that feels good — a glass of Italian vino, a classic cocktail, and Mike Eggert’s menu of simple, timeless, outrageously delicious food.

Think house-made antipasti piled high with sardines, scallop crudo, marinated peppers and baked tomino. Grilled snacks that hit every craving — prawns with chilli and fennel, honey + rosemary chicken wings — and of course, that famous Totti’s bread, fired to order in our state-of-the-art kitchen.

And now, we’re looking for a Senior Sous Chef who wants to shape the next chapter.

The Role

• Lead in one of Sydney’s most iconic Italian dining rooms
• Work with premium produce, a wood-fired oven, and a fully kitted-out modern kitchen
• Grow alongside Exec Chef Mike Eggert and a tight, skilled brigade
• Be part of a pacey, energetic service where quality never drops

What you’ll bring

• 5 + years’ experience in a high-end wine bar, restaurant or brasserie
• Calm, polished presence in an open kitchen — even when the room is pumping
• A leader’s mindset: confident running a section, coaching juniors and elevating standards
• Genuine love for Italian flavours, produce and technique
• Wood-fire experience is a huge bonus
• Communication, work ethic and integrity that set the tone for the team

The Reward

• Competitive salary and award rates.
• Paid parental leave and flexible return to work support for new parents.
• Amazing discounts at 90+ venues.
• Career and development opportunities through the Merivale Academy.
• Employee Assistance Program.
• Employee Referral Program.
