Chef Role (Full-Time)

We're on the hunt for a chef who's equal parts culinary artist, people person, and all-around legend. You'll be the heart of Burly Bar’s kitchen, creating simple but stunning, fun plates and memorable moments for our guests every single day.

Sure, you'll be running the day-to-day kitchen operations and executing a tight, flavour-packed menu alongside our tight-knit crew. This is all about nailing every dish with flair, consistency, and a bit of cheeky personality – no egos, just brilliant food that keeps people coming back.

The right person will have the chance to grow with us across the entire Burly Gin business – think brand activations, menu collaborations, and becoming a genuine advocate for what we're creating.

Let's be real: opportunities like this don't come along every day. If you're ready to pour your passion into something bigger, we'd love to chat.

Burly Bar, Currumbin, Gold Coast

Burly Bar is where the magic happens,  an award-winning, drink-focused hangout that's so much more than just a bar. It's the beating heart of Burly Gin, a place where our spirit (pun intended) comes to life.

We're all about creating those "I need to tell everyone about this place" moments. Think laidback vibes, genuinely warm hospitality, and drinks and dishes that'll have people talking long after last call.

Nestled in Currumbin on the Southern Gold Coast, we're open Wednesday through Sunday, and in no time flat, we've become the spot everyone's buzzing about.

Burly Gin

We craft multi-award-winning gins in Burleigh Heads, utilizing predominantly locally sourced ingredients across our range, which includes Burly Cucumber, Burly Citrus, and Burly Berry.

Burly represents more than exceptional liquid in a distinctively designed bottle. Our brand embodies a sense of place and captures the essence of Gold Coast living – the people, the lifestyle, and the memories that define this unique region.

We've experienced significant growth and momentum, with 2026 projected to be our most successful year to date as we continue to expand our presence in the market.

Key Responsibilities:

• Delivering memorable, personal and unique drinking and dining experiences to every guest

• Kitchen preparation, set-up, mise-en-place and cleanliness maintained at the highest level
• Being the face of Burly Bar’s kitchen and contributing to food-led content creation (socials, events, collaborations)
• Managing stock levels, placing orders with suppliers and communicating clearly with front-of-house
• Supporting cost control, portion consistency and minimising waste
• Maintaining a spotless, organised and safe kitchen environment in line with food-safety standards

What we’re looking for:

• 2+ years experience as a chef in a busy, high-quality venue
• Proven ability to execute a tight, seasonal menu with precision and personality
• Excellent organisational skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• A genuine passion for hospitality and a desire to grow within the industry
• An engaging, warm personality that staff and guests naturally warm to
• Flexible availability – evenings, weekends and split shifts are all part of the fun
• Well-presented with a professional, positive attitude
• Strong team player who is committed to high-end service and delivering outstanding food
• Current Food Safety Supervisor certificate (or willingness to obtain)
• Full working rights in Australia

We can’t wait to meet you!
