Sous Chef

Sous Chef – Between Buns Deli by the Marcy’s and Pleasure Craft Group Team

Something New Has Come to the CBD

We’ve opened a brand-new deli concept in the heart of the CBD—and we’re looking for a Sous Chef to be part of our BB family.

This is a lunch-focused deli, built around delicious, thoughtful sandwiches and comforting dishes, done properly. Serving generously filled sandwiches, fresh sides and quality drinks in a fun, energetic environment. With a strong focus on speed, consistency and great food, we are looking for a capable and hands-on Sous Chef to help lead our kitchen team and support the continued growth of the concept.

Who We Are

This concept comes from the team behind Marcy’s—a group known for taking familiar ideas and giving them soul. Our new deli will follow the same philosophy: approachable food, done exceptionally well, in a space designed for the everyday rhythms of the city.

We’re building a place people return to weekly—not for hype, but because it’s consistently good.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Sous Chef, your primary responsibility will be to:

- Support the Head Chef in managing the day-to-day kitchen operations at Between Buns. You will help lead the kitchen team through preparation and service, ensuring that every item is produced efficiently, consistently and according to our recipes and presentation standards.

- You will take ownership of kitchen readiness, including daily preparation, station organisation, ordering, inventory control and the monitoring of stock levels and wastage.

- You will work closely with the Head Chef to maintain food costs, improve kitchen systems and ensure the team is prepared for busy service periods, catering orders and events.

- A key part of your role will involve training and supervising junior chefs, maintaining a positive and accountable working environment, and ensuring that all food safety, hygiene and cleanliness standards are followed.

- You will also assist with menu development, recipe testing and R&D as the concept continues to evolve.

We are looking for someone who is organised, dependable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. You should be confident leading a small team, communicating clearly and remaining hands-on throughout preparation and service. Other responsibilities may be assigned depending on operational requirements and the continued development of Between Buns.
