Description

Spice up your career and grow your skills in a dynamic, supportive kitchen! Rice Paper Scissors is a vibrant Asian fusion restaurant where modern creativity meets authentic culinary traditions. We're looking for a passionate Casual Commis Chef who’s eager to learn, grow, and be part of a positive, high-performing team.

About Us

At Rice Paper Scissors, we create bold, seasonal dishes inspired by flavours from across Asia. We believe in balance — in the kitchen, on the plate, and in our people’s lives. Our team values inclusivity, creativity, and genuine support for each other.

What We Offer

Casual positions available
Strong work–life balance with fair, consistent rosters
A fun, young and ambitious team environment
Exposure to innovative, seasonal and sustainable Asian fusion cuisine
Supportive leadership with:
- Internal and external training and development
- Weekly mentoring to set goals and discuss opportunities
- Monthly appraisals with constructive feedback
Opportunities for career growth and promotions as we expand
Competitive salary with KPI bonuses and tips
Inclusive workplace that values mental health, curiosity, and community

What You’ll Be Doing

Cook and present high-quality dishes with attention to detail
Contribute to the development and refinement of recipes and techniques
Assist with day-to-day kitchen operations, ensuring readiness and preparation
Follow instructions, delegate small tasks and cross-check completion
Maintain high standards of food safety, hygiene, and record-keeping
Monitor stock and assist with inventory management
Support productivity, teamwork and positive kitchen culture
Assist with food cost reporting and wage control under guidance

What You Bring

Minimum 1 year experience as a Commis Chef (fast-paced kitchen preferred)
Genuine passion for cooking, learning and delivering memorable experiences
A positive, proactive and team-focused attitude
Ability to work efficiently under pressure
Good understanding of food safety standards and kitchen hygiene
Strong communication and willingness to support others
Desire to grow within a successful restaurant group
Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery OR at least 3 years’ experience (preferred)
Experience with Southeast Asian cuisine is highly regarded — but not essential if you have the right attitude!
