Oaks Auckland Hotel are looking for an experienced and passionate Demi Chef to oversee the kitchen operations at : DASH on a part-time basis.
: DASH Auckland has all the ingredients for success – a great team, an unbeatable location, and a concept built for energy.

Prepare and cook a variety of dishes in line with menu standards and guest expectations.
Assist in the development and plating of high-quality meals.
Maintain cleanliness, organisation, and compliance with food safety, hygiene, and Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) standards.
