Demi Chef

About Anyday

At Anyday, we create places that feel good to be in—spaces shaped by genuine hospitality, a deep love for food and a belief in the quiet power of connection. Our venues are guided by instinct, not formulas, offering warmth, character, and moments that linger long after the table’s been cleared.

Founded in 2014, Anyday’s current portfolio includes Agnes, Biànca, Golden Avenue, hôntô, Idle, LOS, sAme sAme, The French Exit and the newly opened Le Royale - with plans for many more.

About hôntô

hôntô is inspired by contemporary Japanese cuisine, where classic dishes are reinterpreted with seasonal ingredients and a focus on local produce. The menu invites guests to share and experience the full range of delicate, thoughtful flavours, with highlights like the Raw Bar, where you can watch the team showcase their knife work. The beverage program is equally refind, centred on premium sake, Japanese whiskey (including one of the largest collections in the Southern Hemisphere), and a curated selection of beers and wines. For a more intimate experience the ôô room offers a hidden nook where you can enjoy the full drinks list and food offerings, all paired perfectly to enhance the umami, texture, and acidity of each dish.

The Role

hôntô is looking for a skilled and committed Demi Chef, responsible for preparing high-quality dishes with a focus on Japanese cuisine. This role requires attention to detail, the ability to work efficiently under pressure and a love for delivering food that exceed our guests' expectations. Like the restaurant itself, our dishes are seductive, textural and complex.
