|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Culinary degree, culinary certifications | Culinary degree, culinary certifications |
| Work Environment | Research and development kitchens, innovation labs | Restaurant kitchens, food service establishments |
| Employer & Industry | Food companies, product development firms | Hotels, restaurants, catering services |
| Primary Focus | Creating new recipes, product development | Managing kitchen operations, preparing dishes |
The main difference between a Development Chef and a Sous Chef lies in their focus and work environment. Development Chefs primarily work in research and development settings, creating new recipes and food products, while Sous Chefs are hands-on kitchen leaders managing daily kitchen operations in restaurants or hotels. Both roles require culinary credentials, but their responsibilities and workplaces differ significantly.

Moxies is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Head Chef to lead our high-volume, premium casual kitchen in Washington, DC.
This is a key leadership role for a hands-on culinary professional who thrives in a structured, systems-driven environment and has a proven background in multi-unit national restaurant brands.
The ideal candidate brings strong restaurant chain experience, with a deep understanding of operational consistency, recipe execution, and brand standards. Expertise with Crunchtime inventory systems is required, along with a demonstrated ability to manage food costs, control inventory, and drive kitchen efficiency.
As the Head Chef, you will be responsible for leading, coaching, and developing a large culinary team, creating a culture of accountability, performance, and growth. You will play a critical role in talent development, succession planning, and maintaining high engagement across the back-of-house team.
This role demands a leader who is both operationally excellent and people-focused, someone who can consistently deliver high-quality food, execute under pressure, and drive results in a fast-paced environment.
A passion for hospitality, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
From handcrafted dishes to signature cocktails and award-winning hospitality. Moxies has invited our guests to savour the moment across 50+ locations in Canada and in the United States for more than 30 years.
Drawing inspiration from his experience in a Michelin-recognized restaurant and designing the menu for the James Beard House Canada 150th celebration, Executive Chef Brandon Thordarson delivers culinary excellence under a commitment to the craft of cooking and the personal mantra, “if it isn’t right, it doesn’t leave the kitchen.” Chef Brandon has created an entire menu of artfully crafted, fresh flavours exclusive to Moxies. All served in a captivating ambience by a team dedicated to making Moxies the best part of your day.
