Job description

What You’ll Do:

Our Executive Chef is at the top of this food chain and is responsible for all aspects of the kitchen and kitchen personnel: recipes, menu plans, portion control, food quality, inventory control, budgeting, and team member supervision.

Clearly, the Executive Chef has a full plate! Here are just a few tasks you can expect to do on a daily basis:

  • Interview, hire, and train kitchen personnel.
  • Research market trends to develop creative menu selections and concepts
  • Establish the day's priorities and assign production and preparation tasks to staff to execute.
  • Requisition the day’s supplies and ensure that they are received and stored correctly.
  • Ensure that staff report to work as scheduled; document any late or absent employees.

Where You’ve Been:

We’re looking for someone with a degree from a reputable Culinary School or College and at least 3 years’ experience as a Sous Chef. You’re someone with knowledge of food safety procedures and knows the ins and outs of professional cooking and knife handling skills.

When You’re Here:

This probably goes without saying but you’ll be on your feet a lot. There will be occasions when you may be carrying/lifting up to 50 pounds, walking, bending/twisting, climbing stairs and working on slippery floors. You also must be able to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.

About The Quoin Hotel & Restaurant

The Quoin Hotel & Restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware, officially opened its doors in 2022 and is located at 519 N. Market Street inside the historic Security Trust & Safe Company Building, a Victorian brownstone designed by famed architect Frank Furness in 1885. Today, we offer a Michelin Key, 24-room boutique hotel that offers multiple dining amenities and outlets. 

At The Quoin, each food and beverage outlet operates as a distinct yet cohesive aesthetic expression and hospitality experience:

  • The Quoin Restaurant delivers delicious wood-fired fare and a curated wine program in a refined yet lively setting with outdoor patio and PDR for lunch, brunch, or dinner.
  • Simmer Down, the hotel’s moody, speakeasy-style lounge set within a historic bank vault, offers bespoke cocktails and an intimate late-night atmosphere.
  • The Quoin Rooftop Bar & Lounge provides panoramic city views with chic cocktail service and tapas bites — a high-energy yet polished social destination.
  • Private Dining & Events range from curated private dinners to weddings, and corporate buyouts, requiring seamless execution and customized menus.

Together, these venues define the property’s identity: chic but welcoming, luxurious but approachable.
