Chef de Partie

Innovative and stylish, Mantra Melbourne Epping represents a new standard in hotel accommodation just north of the CBD. Featuring contemporary hotel rooms, one and two-bedroom apartments, and state-of-the-art conference facilities for up to 500 delegates, the hotel delivers a diverse and high-energy hospitality environment.

This isn’t your standard kitchen role.

Based at Mantra Melbourne Epping, you’ll work across a dynamic, multi-venue operation that brings together Republic Tavern, Trader Restaurant, and Conference & Events — all under one roof — alongside our on-site brewery (Beer Republic) and distillery (Twist Distilling).

No two days look the same — and that’s exactly the point.

This role is designed for chefs who want more than just one section or one style of service. You’ll build capability across multiple kitchen environments:

• High-volume, fast-paced service in Republic Tavern
• Refined, service-driven dining in Trader Restaurant
• Large-scale production and execution within Conference & Events

One shift you might be leading a section through a busy Tavern service. The next, plating for a corporate event or supporting a refined à la carte offering. It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and built for chefs who want exposure, development, and variety.

As Chef de Partie, you will play a key role in delivering consistent, high-quality food across multiple outlets. Working closely with the wider kitchen brigade, you will contribute to service delivery, team development, and the ongoing evolution of our food offering.
