What is a ranch chef?

A Ranch Chef is responsible for preparing meals on a ranch, often cooking for ranch owners, staff, and sometimes guests. They create hearty, nutritious dishes using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, often in a rustic or outdoor setting. Duties may include menu planning, sourcing ingredients, cooking, and maintaining a clean kitchen. Some Ranch Chefs also cater to dietary needs and seasonal availability. The role requires culinary skills, adaptability, and an understanding of ranching culture.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a ranch chef?

To thrive as a Ranch Chef, you need strong culinary skills, menu planning experience, and knowledge of food safety regulations, often supported by relevant culinary certifications. Familiarity with kitchen equipment, inventory management systems, and sometimes outdoor cooking tools is highly beneficial. Excellent organizational skills, adaptability, and clear communication are essential for handling diverse tasks and coordinating with ranch staff. These skills ensure efficient meal preparation, high food quality, and smooth operations in a rural, often resource-limited environment.

What are the main challenges a ranch chef might face in a ranch setting?

Ranch Chefs often work in remote locations where supplies and resources may be limited, so creative problem-solving and flexibility are essential. You may need to adapt menus based on seasonal availability or unexpected deliveries and be prepared to serve hearty meals to large groups at variable times during busy seasons. The work environment can require long hours and multitasking, especially during special events or roundups. However, this role also offers close collaboration with ranch owners and staff, fostering a strong sense of community and a unique, rewarding culinary experience.

Description

Chef de Cuisine — The Cheyenne Club at Brush Creek Ranch

$95,000–$100,000 | 10% End-of-Season Guaranteed Bonus 

Who We Are

Brush Creek Ranch is a luxury guest ranch in the Snowy Range mountains of Wyoming — and The Cheyenne Club is where our culinary program reaches its highest expression. We're looking for a Chef de Cuisine who is ready to lead a world-class fine dining kitchen, develop a talented culinary team, and bring a genuine passion for seasonal, locally inspired cuisine to one of the most extraordinary ranch resort settings in the American West.

This role reports to our Executive Chef and offers a compensation package designed to attract the best: $95,000–$100,000 base salary, a 10% end-of-season guaranteed bonus, subsidized on-site housing, and three free meals per day. Relocation assistance available for the right candidate.

The Opportunity

  • Lead The Cheyenne Club — Brush Creek Ranch's signature fine dining restaurant — with full ownership of culinary operations, seasonal menu development, and kitchen team performance
  • Work directly with The Farm at Brush Creek Ranch — our on-site greenhouse, goat dairy, creamery, and artisan bakery — to build a truly authentic farm-to-table culinary program
  • Execute signature culinary events, private ranch dinners, and immersive guest programming in one of Wyoming's most celebrated luxury ranch environments
  • Develop and mentor a dedicated culinary team in a supportive, craft-focused kitchen culture
  • Build a long-term culinary career within the White Lodging luxury ranch and hotel network

Ideal Candidate

  • 5+ years of progressive culinary leadership in luxury restaurants, destination resorts, private clubs, or fine dining environments
  • Experience at a Relais & Châteaux, Forbes-rated, or comparable luxury property strongly preferred
  • Seasonal menu development and farm-to-table sourcing experience — a genuine passion for ingredient-driven cuisine
  • A culinary leader who is as comfortable mentoring a junior cook as executing a private dinner for discerning ranch guests
  • Ready to embrace the Wyoming ranch lifestyle — the land, the seasons, and a quality of life that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else

Compensation & Benefits

  • $95,000–$100,000 base salary
  • 10% end-of-season guaranteed bonus
  • Subsidized on-site housing
  • 3 free meals per day
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance — starting day 1
  • 401(k) with company match after 1 month
  • Paid time off (PTO) with rollover
  • Unlimited referral bonuses
  • Access to hiking, mountain biking, and fishing on neighboring national forest land
  • Discounts on hotel rooms, dining, and travel
  • Growth opportunities across our luxury ranch and hotel network

At Brush Creek Ranch, we are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or veteran status. #WY500
