Chefs | Totti's Bondi & Bar Totti's (Sydney, AU)

Company Description

Job Description

The Venue

Totti's isn’t just a restaurant - it’s a feeling. Big energy, shared tables, and food that brings people together. From the coastal buzz of Totti's Bondi to the fast-paced rhythm of Bar Totti's, every venue has its own personality - but the philosophy stays the same: simple food, done exceptionally well, in rooms that are always alive.

Think wood-fired bread made to order, plates built for sharing, and produce-led dishes that hit with flavour and confidence. Open kitchens, high volume, and teams that thrive on momentum.

We’re looking for full-time chefs to join the Totti’s family - people who want to commit, grow, and be part of something consistently busy and highly regarded.

You’ll step into a kitchen that moves with purpose: service-driven, detail-focused, and backed by strong leadership. Whether you see yourself in Bondi’s volume and coastal energy, or the tighter, late-night rhythm of Bar Totti’s, we’ll match you to the venue that fits. This is Italian, but not as you know it - louder, looser, and built for now.

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

You’ve spent a couple of years in serious kitchens and know what good looks like
You thrive in fast, high-volume service - and don’t shy away from the pressure
You care about food: how it tastes, how it looks, how it’s shared
You can confidently run a section and support those around you
You communicate clearly, stay composed, and take pride in your standards

Experience with Italian cooking or wood fire is a bonus - but attitude, pace, and hunger to improve matter more.
