What do you offer us?

At Effra Social, our head chefs are the driving force behind crafting and delivering exceptional menus. We’re looking for leaders who can inspire and guide their teams with passion and enthusiasm. As a natural leader, you will coach your brigade, fostering a learning environment where everyone grows together. If you’re someone who brings creativity, consistency, and a commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients, we’d love to have you on board.


We value substance over style—no foams, gels, or smears here. We’re seeking skilled chefs who can masterfully cook quality ingredients every time. Our main menu evolves with the seasons, and we expect specials that reflect your imagination, flair, and personality.


You will have complete responsibility for your food gross profit (GP) and will be rewarded for achieving your targets.

Collaboration is key at Effra Social. You’ll work closely with your management team, including the General Manager, to ensure that our food pairs perfectly with our drinks and atmosphere, making you the heart of every shift.
