Jyoti Hayu

Currently working as a part-time chef at Bang Bowls, assisting with food preparation, cooking, and maintaining kitchen cleanliness. Focused on delivering high-quality, healthy bowl-based meals in a fast-paced environment while supporting overall kitchen operations.

Since September 2024, I have been working at Aunty’s Ed Restaurant & Bar in Katoomba as a Chef. My responsibilities include ordering goods, managing stock levels, delegating tasks to kitchen staff, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards, and actively participating in food preparation and cooking. In December 2024, I also joined Bang Bowls as a part-time chef, where I contribute to kitchen operations, focusing on the preparation of healthy bowl-style meals. Balancing both roles has strengthened my time management skills and allowed me to maintain high standards of food quality and efficiency across two dynamic kitchen environments.

• I spent over four years at Kismet Grounds, leading a dynamic and fast-paced kitchen team in a bustling café environment. During this time, I focused on perfecting our signature dishes while introducing fresh, innovative ideas that kept the menu exciting and customer-focused. My role involved overseeing kitchen operations, maintaining high standards of food quality and hygiene, and fostering a collaborative team culture. To further enhance my culinary skills and broaden my experience, I joined Aunty’s Ed, where I continued to grow professionally and refine my techniques. I’m deeply passionate about food innovation and delivering memorable dining experiences through creativity and consistency.
