ABOUT BUTTERLEAF

Much more than a salad shop, Butterleaf is a balance of health and indulgence.

We work with fresh produce and quality ingredients to create food that is light, vibrant, and full of flavour. Everything is made daily, from scratch, with care and consistency.

Our kitchen is built on strong systems, clear standards, and a team that takes pride in doing things properly.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a hands-on leadership role focused on kitchen management, preparation, and readiness for service.

You will be responsible for ensuring the kitchen is organised, fully prepared, and operating to a consistently high standard each day.

This is not a menu development role—our Head Chef prepares dressings, crunch elements, and marinated components. Your role is to lead execution of daily prep and uphold quality across all outputs.
