You will lead menu execution and development, manage costs, mentor your team, and create a professional, accountable, and positive kitchen culture.

Recruit, train, coach, and develop sous chefs, line cooks, and kitchen leadership
Ensure strict adherence to food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards
Build and sustain a high-performing, respectful, and collaborative kitchen culture
What We're Looking For
3-5+ years of experience as an ExecutiveChef in a high-volume, scratch kitchen
Strong foundation in classic Italian cuisine and fresh, made-from-scratch cooking
Proven success managing food costs, labor, and kitchen financials
Culinary Arts degree preferred, but equivalent experience welcomed
Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and some holidays
Skills & Leadership Style
Confident, hands-on culinary leader with strong communication skills
Ability to execute refined cuisine in a fast-paced environment
Collaborative, team-first mindset with a passion for mentoring and development
Physically able to meet the demands of a professional kitchen
Committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and professional workplace
