Chefs | Totti's Bondi & Bar Totti's
Company Description
At Merivale, people are at the heart of everything we do - a family-owned hospitality group with a portfolio of more than 90 venues across Australia. From iconic venues to unforgettable guest experiences, our diverse portfolio spans restaurants, bars, pubs, nightlife, and events, delivering exceptional moments for our guests every day.
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.
