Locimo

For over 12 years, The Apollo has been setting the benchmark for casual fine dining in Sydney. With a One Hat from the Australian Good Food Guide tucked neatly under our belt year after year, we’re proud to deliver exceptional service — informal, but always impeccable.

We're part of a growing family of venues including Cho Cho San in Potts Point, Greca and Yoko Dining at Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves, The Apollo Ginza in Tokyo, and the newly opened Olympus in Redfern's Wunderlich Lane. Big things are happening — and we want you to be part of it.

At The Apollo Group, we believe in modern hospitality: respect, clear and friendly communication, and a team culture that feels more like family. We move fast, work hard, support each other, and always find time to have a laugh along the way.

The Role:

We're looking for a passionate and driven Sous Chef to help lead our high-performing Potts Point kitchen.

You'll work hand-in-hand with our Head Chef to manage daily operations, craft inspired menus, lead and mentor the team, and ensure financial targets are met — all while keeping our kitchen’s high standards humming along.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Team up with the Head Chef to create fresh, exciting menus that show off your creativity and commitment to top-notch cuisine.
• Help manage kitchen budgets, food costs, and profitability — without ever compromising on quality.
• Lead, train, and inspire the kitchen crew, building a team that’s skilled, confident, and ready for anything.
• Keep the wheels turning daily: smooth, consistent service is your jam.
• Coach and develop your team with constructive feedback and a clear path for growth.

Our Perfect Fit:

• You're obsessed with good food, quality ingredients, and running a kitchen like a well-oiled machine.
• You bring proven experience leading busy, high-volume kitchens as a Sous Chef (and you’ve got the stories — and the scars — to prove it).
• You’re a natural leader, passionate about nurturing talent and building a strong, cohesive team.
• You’re organised, calm under pressure, hands-on, and always two steps ahead.

What’s In It for You:

• A real career path in a growing hospitality group that invests in its people.
• A flexible roster that respects work-life balance — because you have a life outside the kitchen.
• Staff discounts across all our venues 
• A buzzing, collaborative environment where your ideas and passion are truly valued.

This is an exciting time to come aboard and help shape the next chapter of The Apollo. If you're ready to lead with heart, hustle, and a sense of humour, we’d love to hear from you.
