Chef Weekly Pay Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Private Chef FT with benefits/401k, Provision TableWe are seeking a Private Chef to join our food group’s Concierge Dining Division, delivering personalized, high-quality in-home dining experiences for a select group of private clients.
This role blends restaurant-level systems with elevated in-home service, ideal for a chef who values efficiency, discretion, and consistent execution in a private setting.
You will primarily prep and cook from our central kitchen, then finish and serve meals at client residences, ensuring a seamless, refined dining experience.
How We Work
Our concierge model is built on efficiency behind the scenes and simplicity at the table.
Each service day is structured as a full cooking day—you’ll begin in our central kitchen handling prep, batch cooking, and mise en place, then transition to the client’s home to finish, plate, and serve. This allows for a streamlined workflow while maintaining a high-quality, in-home dining experience.
Roughly 90% of the work is completed in the kitchen, with final execution done onsite.
We focus on real, whole-food cooking with clear nutrition intent. Meals are clean, thoughtful, and repeatable—built on high-quality ingredients, smart prep systems, and consistent execution.
You’ll receive direct client feedback, allowing you to refine menus and continuously elevate both food and service.
