Personal Chef
Tiny Spoon Chef, Inc.
Chef job in Mamaroneck, NY
Job DescriptionDescription:
Are you a culinary professional looking for more work-life balance and career growth than a typical sous chef or line cook position can offer? This full-time personal chef position is Monday through Friday, 8am-6pm, giving you evenings and weekends FREE.
In this role, you'll work as a personal chef for 8-9 clients per week-handling weekly grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, and kitchen clean-up.

Beyond weekly meal prep, our chefs also:
Host intimate private dining events and dinner parties
Teach cooking classes as a culinary instructor
Lead corporate team-building cooking workshops
Support special projects such as menu design and event catering
What Makes This Role Different from Restaurant Kitchen Jobs?
Unlike traditional restaurant sous chef or line cook jobs, this position offers:
Consistent, predictable Monday-Friday hours (no REGULAR late nights or weekends)
Direct client interaction and creative menu freedom
Opportunities to grow beyond the kitchen into events, education, and leadership
Why Work With Us?
We invest in our chefs through hands-on training, mentorship, and career development programs. If you're someone who enjoys taking initiative, building relationships, and driving growth, this role offers virtually unlimited potential.
At our company, we reward hard work, creativity, and dedication. You'll be more than just a line cook or sous chef-you'll have the opportunity to grow into a private chef, event chef, or culinary leader.
The compensation package is highly competitive and includes bonuses and referral incentives. After 90 days of employment, medical and dental benefits become available (employer pays 65%), and after one year, employees can enroll in a 401k plan with a 4% match program. Additionally, life and disability insurance are provided at no cost to the employee. If you're someone who enjoys taking initiative and driving growth, then TSC offers virtually unlimited potential for career advancement.
At our company, we value and recognize exceptional performance and dedication. As a testament to our commitment to employee growth and satisfaction, we offer a clear pathway to financial advancement. As a candidate, you can expect the opportunity for a well-deserved raise at the 1 year mark, contingent upon favorable performance evaluations. We believe in rewarding hard work, innovation, and exceeding expectations.
