    • Establish strong communication between front and back of house teams.
    • Manage food cost, labor cost, purchasing, and inventory controls.
    • Build systems that maximize profitability without sacrificing quality.
    • Ensure sanitation, safety, and regulatory compliance at all times.
    • Analyze trends, guest feedback, and P&L performance to improve results.

    Qualifications

    • 5+ years of Executive Chef or Senior Sous Chef leadership in upscale dining, lifestyle hotel, or high-volume restaurant environments.
    • Proven success opening, relaunching, or repositioning restaurant concepts.
