About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Regional Chef with deep expertise in Korean cuisine to oversee culinary operations across multiple locations. The ideal candidate is a creative leader who excels at menu development, recipe standardization, and team mentorship — while maintaining a sharp eye on financial performance and food cost management.

Key Responsibilities

Menu & Recipe Development

• Design, develop, and seasonally update menus rooted in authentic Korean culinary traditions.

• Create and standardize recipes across all locations to ensure consistency in quality and presentation.

• Research and incorporate contemporary Korean food trends while honoring traditional techniques.

• Collaborate with location chefs on specials, promotional offerings, and limited-time menus.

Operations & Financial Oversight

• Monitor and manage Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) across all regional locations to meet budgetary targets.

• Conduct regular food cost analyses and implement strategies to improve margins without compromising quality.

• Oversee inventory management, vendor relationships, and ingredient sourcing.

• Ensure compliance with food safety, sanitation, and health regulations at all locations.

Team Leadership & Training

• Provide culinary leadership, coaching, and mentorship to Executive Chefs and kitchen teams.

• Conduct training sessions on Korean cooking techniques, plating standards, and kitchen best practices.

• Perform regular kitchen audits and quality checks across all regional sites.

• Support the hiring and onboarding of culinary staff in coordination with management.

Qualifications & Requirements

Experience

• Minimum 3 years of experience as an Executive Chef (EC) in a professional kitchen environment.

• 1–2 years of experience in a Regional Chef (RC) or multi-unit culinary leadership role.

• Demonstrated expertise in Korean cuisine — including traditional, contemporary, and fusion applications.

Skills & Knowledge

• Proven proficiency in COGS management, food cost analysis, and budget adherence.

• Strong recipe development and menu engineering capabilities.

• Excellent leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Ability to travel regularly between regional locations.

Language
