Lead a Scratch Kitchen with Pride

Own the culinary program and ensure every dish reflects high standards in preparation, flavor, and presentation. Protect the integrity of a scratch kitchen and drive consistency across every shift.


Create an Exceptional Food Experience

Set the tone for food quality and execution. Work closely with the front-of-house team to ensure a seamless experience from kitchen to guest.


Build and Develop Culinary Talent

Recruit, train, and mentor a high-performing kitchen team. Create a culture of accountability, growth, and pride where future leaders are developed.


Drive Kitchen Operations

Oversee all back-of-house operations including prep, execution, cleanliness, and organization. Ensure systems are in place for smooth, efficient service.


Own Food Cost & Inventory

Manage ordering, inventory, and cost controls. Minimize waste, maximize efficiency, and maintain strong financial performance without compromising quality.


Ensure Food Safety & Standards

Maintain strict adherence to food safety, sanitation, and operational standards. Lead by example and hold the team accountable to doing things the right way.


Why This Role Stands Out


  • Competitive salary + bonus potential
  • Comprehensive health benefits
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off
  • Tremendous growth and advancement opportunities
  • People-first culture with strong leadership support
  • A true scratch kitchen where quality matters


What Were Looking For

  • 35+ years of Executive Chef or senior culinary leadership experience in a high-volume, full-service environment
  • A true passion for scratch cooking and high-quality food execution
  • Strong leadership skills with a focus on developing and mentoring teams
  • Deep understanding of kitchen operations, food safety, and sanitation standards
  • Proven ability to manage food cost, inventory, and kitchen systems
  • Hands-on leadership style with a strong presence in the kitchen
  • Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment
