Job Description Culinary Operations Lead (Executive Sous Chef) - The "Anti-Restaurant" Kitchen Schedule: Daytime Only | No Late Nights | Moving to Monday-Friday Compensation: $85,000 - $90,000 + Performance Incentives & Event Pay Tired of the 2:00 AM grind? Welcome to the Future of Prepared Dining. We are not your typical "box drop" meal service. We are a high-growth, chef-driven culinary startup that is redefining prepared dining. We provide better-than-restaurant-quality food-think Gjelina or Hatchet Hall quality-delivered to a dedicated, high-retention clientele. We are looking for a professionally mature Executive Sous Chef / Operations Manager to step in as our Lead Operator. This isn't a "clipboard job." You will partner directly with our Founder/Executive Chef to own the kitchen, command the team, and help lead our operations as we scale from a local favorite to a regional powerhouse.

Signing Bonus potential after an initial 6-month period. Extra Income: Opportunities to earn $400-$500 per event, assisting with our high-end private catering.
