Senior Sous Chef — Kitchen Manager Roles

Sydney CBD | Full-time | Monday-Friday | Day & PM Opportunities

Run the shift. Build the team. Make the operation better.

Every day, teams across Sydney at workplaces like Google, Amazon, Canva, TikTok and Louis Vuitton open a Feedwell delivery: honest, nutritious food, made fresh that same day. For a lot of them, it's the best part of their workday.

Feedwell is one of Sydney's fastest-growing fresh-food catering businesses, producing and delivering thousands of meals daily to workplaces including the ones above.

We're hiring two kitchen leaders.

SOUS CHEF, CATERING & EVENTS

Run a serious catering kitchen, grow into a stronger operator and leader, and help build Feedwell's new hot-food and events capability.

You'll organise production, allocate people, spot bottlenecks, respond to late changes and make sure downstream teams receive exactly what they need.

You'll stay hands-on, but your job is bigger than cooking.

Your job is to make the whole kitchen perform.

You'll also work with our Operations Manager and Product Development Manager to help turn new dishes into products that can be produced beautifully, consistently, safely and profitably at scale.

KITCHEN OPERATIONS MANAGER / SENIOR SOUS - PM SHIFT

Lead the PM crew behind thousands of fresh meals daily. Own production, labour, quality and team performance, with a genuine path into senior operator leadership.

Your job isn't to be the fastest person on the bench.

It's to get the whole operation performing.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Across both roles:

keeping production on schedule;

controlling labour and productivity;

maintaining quality and food-safety standards;

coaching and managing performance;

continually improving workflow, training, quality and productivity.

Feedwell is highly systemised around production planning, labour, quality, KPIs and production tracking.

But systems don't run people. That's where you come in.

Learn the operation, earn the trust, then help us make it better.

WHO COULD THRIVE HERE?

Your title matters less than what you've actually led and improved.

You could be a Senior CDP, Sous Chef, Senior Sous, Head Chef, Kitchen Operations Manager, Catering Manager or Food Production Manager.

You don't need to be the best chef in the room.

You do need to know how to get the whole room performing, and you need to care more about finding the right answer than being the one who's right.

A BETTER-DESIGNED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Feedwell's kitchen is designed to be calm, organised and respectful, not chaotic, ego-driven or run through yelling.

We expect clear accountability, decisive leadership and strong performance.

We're not offering an easier job. We're offering a better-designed one.

WHY FEEDWELL?

Real ownership. Responsibility for an operation and its outcomes, not just a section of the pass.

A genuine leadership track. A real path from running a kitchen well to becoming a commercial operator: labour, productivity, food cost and systems.

A team built on calm, not chaos. No yelling, no egos, no politics. Standards without the drama, so leadership actually means something here.

Sustainable ambition. Full-time, Monday to Friday, no routine weekends. The lifestyle is better. The expectations are not lower.
