Cheeky Pokē Bar is a family owned, Hawaiian inspired restaurant – trying to do far more than serve salad. We’re searching for the perfect fits to our thoughtfully designed team that spans across multiple locations in Brisbane. This job is for the person who is finished school and studying or figuring out what to do before commencing their true path. Perhaps you do or don’t know where you’re going next, but you must know for sure that no time is worth wasting – this is a place where you will learn the values of humility, endless development and true connection, and serve some salad. 

Introducing the Cheeky Team!

Cheeky is not just Pokē. Cheeky is a symbol for human potential, a quality of life. We believe that your entire life’s outcome, today and ten years from now is at the helm of your physical and mental energy. The state at which you perform everything you attempt in your life comes from your body and mind. Your passion and drive, your willpower, your values, your aspirations, your relationships… they’re all at the mercy of your body’s capability. Pokē is only one half of that equation. It is the energy of the Cheeky Team that decides whether they will empower that truth within every guest that they interact with. As the powerful influence, Oprah Winfrey says, “You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family, and the people around you.” 

Hang on! Do I want to be Cheeky?!

Fantastic runners and catchers don’t call themselves a football team – Make sure you really want to be apart of the team you’re joining otherwise you’ll quickly find that nobody seems to be running in the same direction. 

So, as part of our family, here’s what you’ll strive for each day :

Cheeky is Interpersonally Aware

You will realise and embrace your deep, innate power within to see and feel the subtleties of many personal and group dynamics in a way that will help you to create and nurture valuable connections with many. 

Hint: You will fit beautifully into the Cheeky Team if you:

• Ask good questions, listen to what others are saying, stay engaged in conversations intently
• Have good judgement and intuition about the subtleties of group dynamics and the impact of your words and actions
• Are often aware of how your mood/emotions affect how you react with your thoughts and decision making
• Take the impact of others’ negative actions as an opportune moment to see how they think, rather than as personal infliction
• Are often mindful of what feelings or events in others’ lives are impacting what they say or do
• Always strive to understand others, even if you don’t necessarily agree
• Stand by your personal values and principals with authenticity in all that you say and do
• Frequently share what you appreciate about others
• Keep your commitments
• Help others, regardless of necessary sacrifice

Cheeky is Hungry

You will be taught a range of skills that will help to ignite your personal creativity and desire to help others in the most authentic ways you desire to meet and exceed our guests’ expectations. You will be taught to go the furthest in each moment, to do all that you do well, from within our world to yours.

Hint: You will fit beautifully into the Cheeky Team if you:

• Are self-motivated & diligent
• Are always looking for the next step or the next opportunity
• Are always looking for more things to do, more to learn, more responsibilities to take on
• Loathe to be perceived as a slacker
• Look to preempt the needs of those around you
• Look outside of your roles and into others to help when you have the opportunity
• Take personal pride in doing the absolute best you can even when nobody else is watching

Cheeky is Humble

You will harness a high level of respect for your own personal growth whereby you will develop and embrace your natural desire to learn from anyone around you. While you experience the innate value of your team, you will be mutually respected and supported within your peer group. You will share an endless endeavour among each of you to find the greatest outcomes and solutions in all circumstances, foregoing the need to be personally correct, but instead striving to be collectively the best at what we do. In embracing such a level of humility, you will learn to step up to lead and support those around you, regardless of what role you play.

Hint: You will fit beautifully into the Cheeky Team if you:

• Lack excessive ego or concerns of status
• Are quick to point out the contributions of others and slow to seek attention for your own
• Share credit, emphasize team over self, and define success collectively rather than individually
• Are mindful & present
• Frequently practise gratitude
• Ask for help when you need it
• Are comfortable and eager to seek feedback from others
• Are comfortable giving constructive feedback to others
• Allow others to apologise to you and mutually, can authentically apologise

Nitty Gritty: 

• Anti-discrimination – You’ll need to share the same moral & ethical principals as us towards anti-discrimination against anything and everything
• Rights to Work – You’ll need to have legal rights to work in Australia either in the form of citizenship or a visa that allows you to work, including a minimum of 6 months before expiry or farm work departure
• Hours – You’ll need to be able to work a minimum of 20hrs/week with us (except when you’re on holidays of course) and you’ll need to have at least 3 optionally available days for us
• Locations – You’ll need to be willing to work at more than 1 of our stores when required. Current vacancies are for multiple venues. Our locations include Newstead, Garden City (Westfield), Greenslopes (Xprs), West End and Brisbane CBD
• Roles – You’ll need to be super versatile and excited by learning – Our entire team is skilled across every area in our store from the humble dish pit to product creation, running the pass, bar tending, running our front of house, plenty of tough cleaning and even some gardening!
• Experience/Learning – No hospitality experience required! BUT we do not say this because we’re desperate, we say this because we are highly selective about our team. We firmly believe that with the right attitude we can teach you anything. You must have the patience, humility and hunger to learn anything from anyone, regardless of whether you have experience in everything or nothing at all (hospitality or otherwise).
