Chef De Partie | Margo's

Margo’s isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant. We’re all about bold, Mexican-inspired flavours and creative dishes, with an energetic atmosphere to match.

Part of Future Hospitality Group (FHG), we’re looking for a Chef de Partie who loves being on the tools and takes pride in great food.

The role

You’ll run your own section in a busy kitchen, cooking bold, Mexican-inspired food alongside our Head Chef and Sous Chef. We want someone who takes pride in their work and backs their team when service gets busy. You’ll also have room to put forward your own ideas.

This is a full-time role on a rotating five-day roster. Margo’s is an evening restaurant, so you’ll need to be available for evening shifts, including weekends and public holidays.

What you’ll be doing

• Run your section: Keep prep organised and manage your station through service.

• Keep standards high: Follow recipes and take pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen.

• Keep service moving: Work closely with the Head Chef, Sous Chef and wider kitchen team.

• Manage stock and waste: Watch portions and rotate stock correctly. Help with ordering and checking deliveries.

• Work safely: Keep your section clean and follow our Food Control Plan and health and safety procedures.

• Communicate clearly: Work with front of house on food enquiries and dietary requirements.

What we’re looking for

• Experience running a section in a busy commercial kitchen.

• Strong cooking and knife skills.

• Consistent food presentation, even when service gets busy.

• A sound understanding of food safety and stock control.

• Good organisation and clear communication during service.

• Mexican-inspired cooking experience is a bonus.

Why join FHG?

• A supportive kitchen team, with room to put forward your own ideas.

• Opportunities to develop your skills and grow across FHG venues.

• 50% off at FHG venues.

• Discounts with selected Queenstown partners, plus discounted gym memberships, Pilates and other staff benefits.
