  • Establish and maintain consistently high standards for food quality, flavor, presentation, portioning, and recipe execution.
  • Recruit, hire, train, coach, and develop a high-performing culinary team, including sous chefs, supervisors, cooks, prep, and dish staff.
  • Partner with restaurant and corporate leadership on menus, specials, seasonal features, and culinary programming aligned with each concept's brand.
  • Oversee food cost, labor, purchasing, inventory, vendor relationships, waste control, recipe costing, and back-of-house financial performance.
  • Develop operating procedures, prep systems, training tools, and kitchen workflows that support consistent execution and scalability.
  • Ensure full compliance with health department requirements, HACCP principles, food-safety protocols, and company sanitation standards.
  • Analyze sales, guest feedback, and operational data to refine menu mix, improve efficiency, and drive business results.
  • Work closely with General Managers and front-of-house leaders to create a seamless, hospitality-driven guest experience.
  • Support restaurant openings, transitions, special events, and future growth across the Lake Nona portfolio.

What We Offer
  • Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus opportunity.
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
  • Potential relocation assistance for qualified candidates.
  • Growth opportunities within Tavistock Restaurant Collection's expanding portfolio.
  • The opportunity to shape culinary experiences within Lake Nona's growing dining and hospitality landscape.

Requirements
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of progressive culinary leadership experience, including at least 3 years as an Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine, or equivalent leader.
  • Experience leading high-volume, full-service, scratch-kitchen operations.
  • Proven ability to manage food cost, labor, inventory, vendor relationships, and culinary budgets.
  • Demonstrated success building, mentoring, and retaining high-performing culinary teams.
  • Experience with restaurant openings, concept development, menu innovation, or multi-unit operations is strongly preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of recipe development, modern cooking techniques, plating, kitchen systems, and food-safety standards.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
