Job description

Head Chef — Pour Destino | Elmhurst, IL

Position Type: Full-Time, Salaried Location: 545 Spring Road, Elmhurst, IL

About the Role

Pour Destino is looking for a talented and driven culinary professional ready to take the next step in their career. This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled sous chef to step into a Head Chef role at one of Elmhurst's most distinctive dining destinations — a Spanish tapas and craft cocktail restaurant with a passionate team, a loyal local following, and real room to make the kitchen your own.

You'll lead our culinary operation end-to-end, from menu vision to daily execution, working closely with ownership to grow the food program alongside the restaurant.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and manage all back-of-house operations across lunch, dinner, and weekend service
  • Develop and evolve our Spanish-inspired tapas menu with creativity, seasonality, and guest experience in mind
  • Maintain rigorous standards for food quality, consistency, and presentation on every plate
  • Own food cost management — including ordering, inventory, vendor relationships, and waste reduction
  • Hire, train, and develop kitchen staff, fostering a culture of accountability, growth, and pride in craft
  • Collaborate with ownership on specials programming, seasonal menu updates, and new offerings
  • Ensure full compliance with food safety, sanitation, and health code standards
  • Partner with front-of-house leadership to deliver seamless, guest-first service

What We're Looking For

  • 3–5+ years of progressive kitchen experience, including time as a sous chef or senior line lead
  • Deep knowledge of Spanish cuisine, tapas-style cooking, or Mediterranean flavors strongly preferred
  • Proven ability to manage food cost and kitchen financials
  • Strong leadership presence with experience training and motivating a kitchen team
  • Organized, composed under pressure, and committed to consistent execution
  • A genuine passion for hospitality and a desire to grow with a local, independent restaurant

What We Offer

  • Competitive salaried compensation commensurate with experience
  • Creative ownership over the menu and kitchen direction
  • A supportive, community-rooted ownership team invested in your success
  • The opportunity to build something — not just maintain it
