Auto-ApplyChef de Cuisine @ Ghost Tree Grill @ Bandon Dunes Golf Resort
Executive chef job in Bandon, OR
As Chef de Cuisine at Ghost Tree Grill, you'll lead the kitchen of Bandon Dunes' premier Pacific Northwest steakhouse and raw bar. Located steps from Old Macdonald's 18th green, Ghost Tree serves discerning guests who've traveled from around the world to experience championship golf-and who expect the same level of excellence at the table.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll work the line alongside your team during service, ensuring every dish-from locally sourced oysters at the raw bar to dry-aged steaks and Northwest seasonal ingredients-meets our high standards. You'll see golfers finishing their rounds and settling in at the bar, locals celebrating special occasions, and guests who expect both flawless execution and genuine hospitality.
Working with our Executive Chef, you'll help develop menus that showcase the best of the Pacific Northwest while managing the full scope of kitchen operations: food costs, inventory, team leadership, scheduling, and maintaining consistency during high-volume service. You'll need the technical skills to handle premium proteins and fresh seafood with precision, and the operational experience to run a kitchen that's open seven days a week, year-round.
This isn't a job where you manage from behind a desk. It's for a chef who thrives on the line, takes pride in every plate, and knows how to keep a team sharp even when the dining room is packed. Ideal candidates have at least 10 years of culinary experience and 5 years of Chef/Manager experience in an upscale, modern steakhouse.
About Bandon Dunes Golf Resort: Bandon Dunes is a world-class golf resort located on the Oregon Coast near the charming community of Bandon. Guests come to experience golf as it was meant to be at Bandon Dunes' six distinct golf courses. That includes five 18-hole courses, which all rank among the top 16 public courses in the United States, according to Golf Digest. The resort is also home to two 'Courses with a Mission': Bandon Preserve, an award-winning par-3 course, and Shorty's, which opened in 2024. All net proceeds from both courses fund the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation, supporting communities along the South Coast of Oregon.
Beyond premier golf, guests delight in a variety of dining options at Bandon Dunes' collection of restaurants. Whether you're looking to enjoy locally-sourced, Pacific-Northwest cuisine accompanied by an award-winning wine list or prefer kicking back in a Scottish-style setting with traditional pub fare and local microbrews, there is something for everyone.
Working at Bandon Dunes is a dream for golf fans, outdoor enthusiasts, and hospitality professionals alike. The Bandon Dunes team works together to create trips of a lifetime for our guests. We are passionate stewards of our resort, community, and environment. As an endlessly curious group, we ask questions, share ideas, and always look for a better way. With a hard-working attitude, we help guide our guests through their pure golf experience, immersed in Oregon's natural beauty and away from the demands of daily life.
What You'll Be Doing:
Lead Daily Operations: Oversee food production for our restaurant, banquets, and special events.
Be the Chef's Right Hand: Take charge in the kitchen when the Chef is away, ensuring seamless operations.
Mentor Your Team: Train, guide, and manage kitchen staff while fostering a collaborative environment.
Elevate Quality: Work with the Chef to ensure every dish meets our high standards of flavor, presentation, and cost-efficiency.
Strategize Smartly: Assist with inventory, pricing, and cost controls to maximize profitability.
Drive Excellence: To uphold a pristine environment and monitor sanitation, safety, and kitchen conditions.
What You Bring:
Lead from the front, not the back office. This is a working chef position. You'll be on the line during service, training your team, and making sure every dish meets our standards. When things get busy (and they will), you'll be right there solving problems in real time.
Manage the business side of food. Work with our Executive Chef on inventory management, food costs, pricing, and ordering. You'll need to balance creativity with profitability - great food that loses money isn't sustainable.
Build and develop your culinary team. You'll hire, train, and manage kitchen staff. This means having difficult conversations about performance, creating work schedules that actually work, and helping people grow their skills in a demanding environment.
Maintain standards that matter. Ensure food quality, safety, and sanitation standards are consistently met. Health inspectors don't care about excuses, and neither do guests with food allergies.
Collaborate across the operation. Work closely with front-of-house managers to ensure seamless service and communicate with other departments when your kitchen needs impact their operations.
What Makes You a Great Fit:
You have real kitchen leadership experience. Five years of culinary experience with supervisory or management responsibilities. A culinary degree is great, but we care more about your ability to lead a kitchen during a busy dinner service.
You understand food safety and compliance. State certification and/or ServSafe certification required. You know that proper food handling isn't optional, and you can teach and enforce these standards with your team.
You can handle the pressure. Resort kitchens operate at a different pace than most restaurants. When 200 golfers want dinner after their round, there's no room for error. You stay calm, think clearly, and keep your team focused when things get intense.
You communicate effectively. You can explain complex cooking techniques to new staff, have honest performance conversations with struggling employees, and work collaboratively with managers from other departments.
You're committed to quality. You understand that consistency matters as much as creativity, and you have the attention to detail needed to maintain high standards every service.
Perks and Benefits For Full Time Employees:
Comprehensive Benefits Package: Enjoy a well-rounded benefits package that covers your health, wellness, and financial future.
Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to relax and recharge with our PTO plan.
Free Golf Privileges: Tee off at some of the most iconic courses in the world with complimentary golf access.
Quarterly Incentives: When our team meets resort-wide performance goals, we get rewarded.
Complimentary Lunch: Stay energized with a complimentary lunch in our Staff Cafe during your shift.
Resort Discounts: Save on dining and merchandise throughout the resort.
Supportive Work Environment: Be part of a team that supports your growth and success, with opportunities to thrive in a collaborative atmosphere.
Career Growth: Take advantage of continuous training and development opportunities to advance your career.
If you're a chef who finds satisfaction in leading a team, creating exceptional food, and maintaining high standards in a beautiful coastal setting, we'd like to hear from you. This role reports to our Executive Chef and offers the opportunity to make a real impact on guest experiences.
At Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
