Welcome to Goldie’s - a Palm Springs–style country oasis in the heart of Takapuna, where modern honky-tonk meets desert daydreams and every night carries a little spark. Goldie’s blends warm country charm with festival energy and that unmistakable good-time-gal spirit.
We’re looking for people who love hospitality, bring positive energy to every shift, and genuinely enjoy making others feel welcome. You could be greeting guests, serving food and drinks, supporting the bar or floor, or helping keep the venue running smoothly - whatever the moment calls for. No two days are the same, so you’ll thrive on variety, stay calm in a busy environment, and enjoy being part of a tight-knit team. Hospitality experience is a bonus, but not essential - attitude, reliability, and a strong work ethic matter most.
In return, we’ll invest in you with solid training, support your growth, and offer a workplace that’s fast-paced, social, and full of character. Whether you’re here for a season or something longer, there’s a place for you at Goldie’s.
Goldie's is looking for a skilled Sous Chef to support our Head Chef and lead the team through busy services. You’ll oversee prep and cooking across the kitchen, maintain communication between the front and back of house, and ensure every dish meets our quality and timing standards. You’ll also help manage ordering, costs, training, and kitchen organisation, stepping up when the Head Chef is away. To succeed in this role, you’ll need at least two years’ experience as a Senior Chef de Partie or Sous Chef, an NCEA Level 4 qualification in cookery, and leadership experience or a strong desire to develop those skills. You’ll thrive under pressure, enjoy mentoring others, and bring creativity and consistency to every service.
