You'll execute to spec and maintain exceptional food hygiene standards, all while making sure your food is the best it can be.

Yorks is a vibrant yet super-accessible café space “owned” by our customers, with our soul rooted in coffee and globally inspired all-day-brunch. We aim to create a future where Yorks’ legacy is one that has a lasting positive impact on the people we serve and the environment in which we live. As a chef with us you'll have the opportunity to learn our processes and work in a kitchen who's food is made from scratch with a variety of techniques, giving you opportunity to further your craft.

OUR BRAND, MISSION & VALUES:

Our collective job as a team and Reason We Exist as a business is..

To be the best part of peoples’ day.

Whether a memory with friends and family or a moment of escapism and relief; through the power of food, drink, and positivity, we make people feel good.

Our Mission

To make positive local change for global good. Through engagement with our teams, customers, suppliers and the communities where our cafes and restaurants are located, we will make incremental positive change to our environment, our communities and the health and wellbeing of all people we come into contact with.

We will do this with humility, never be preachy, and facilitate local change by offering choices rather than forced conformity or guilt-tripping.

Our Values

Be the best, create the best; We achieve great things by asking "is that the best?" as a
benchmark in everything we do and every experience we create.
Kindness and celebration of diversity; We celebrate people's differences through kindness and understanding. We always seek to be kind as we can never fully know the back-story of our colleagues or customers' journeys.
Be humble and willing to improve; None of us know all the answers, but through humility and willingness we can always improve.
Accountable to our environment and those less fortunate; Our legacy will be measured not by financial success, but by the positive impact we leave behind and impact we've had on others.
Use the "power of everyone"; Greatness can be achieved through the collective intelligence, energy and contributions of all of our colleagues.
