Seasonal Research Development Chef information
What is the difference between Seasonal Research Development Chef vs Research and Development Chef?
| Aspect | Seasonal Research Development Chef | Research and Development Chef |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Culinary degree, food safety certifications | Culinary degree, food safety certifications |
| Work Environment | Seasonal food projects, temporary roles | Year-round product development |
| Employer & Industry | Food companies, catering, hospitality | Food manufacturing, product innovation |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Seasonal culinary projects, short-term roles | Long-term product development roles |
Seasonal Research Development Chefs focus on short-term, seasonal food projects, often working during specific times of the year. In contrast, Research and Development Chefs typically work year-round on continuous product innovation. Both roles require culinary credentials and food safety certifications, but their work environments and project durations differ, aligning with different employer needs within the food industry.

Job description
HEAD OF CULINARY
WASHINGTON, DC
THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
THE BEST-ISH BAGELS IN THE WORLD.
OUTTA THIS WORLD OPPORTUNITY.
DEEPER THAN BAGELS
Call Your Mother is the Jew-ish deli where Boca meets Brooklyn, grandma-level hospitality meets seriously good bagel sandwiches, and hard work meets face-melting vibes.
Husband-and-wife team Andrew and Chef Dani built Call Your Mother around a simple idea: make scrumptious, nostalgic food and unforgettable experiences without being bougie or taking ourselves too seriously. From our first little farmer's market stand in 2018, to shops across the DMV, Colorado, Chicago, and Philadelphia in 2026, we're spreading carb love all over the map and our ovens are just getting warmed up! We'll take bagels to mars if the locals are hungry up there.
WE'RE HIRING OUR FIRST HEAD OF CULINARY, BASED IN THE DMV
This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to help shape the future of Call Your Mother. As our first-ever Head of Culinary, you'll partner directly with our Co-Founders and Chief Culinary Officer to shape the next chapter of our menu, culinary strategy, and food innovation. You'll lead our Research & Development and Quality Assurance teams while partnering cross-functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, Training, Marketing, and Finance to bring great ideas to life.
We're looking for someone who's equal parts chef, coach, builder, and problem solver. You'll dream up the next guest obsession, then build the systems, standards, and team that make it consistently exceptional across every shop and commissary. From seasonal sandwiches and schmears, to entirely new carb adventures, you'll help create food people obsess over while protecting the quality, hospitality, and nostalgia our guests know and love.
If you're picking up what we're laying down, keep reading!
YOU'LL CRUSH THIS ROLE IF YOU...
Shall we proceed? If you blurted out an audible "YES INDEED!" then please keep reading.
WHAT YOU'LL REALLY BE DOING
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
The physical demands for this position include seeing, hearing, speaking, reading, and communicating effectively; standing, walking, reaching, bending, and performing repetitive physical movements; lifting up to 50 pounds; and safely operating equipment and tools using manual dexterity. This role also requires working in a fast-paced environment around hot equipment, sharp tools, and varying temperatures, and occasionally working in confined spaces. These physical requirements may be accomplished with or without reasonable accommodation. .
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Call Your Mother is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We enthusiastically celebrate the diversity of our team and believe that talent, passion, and experience are the only relevant criteria for considering new team members. We provide equal opportunities to everyone who works for us and every applicant. We consider applicants for all positions without regard to sex or gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, or any other legally protected status.

- Lead with humility, curiosity, high standards, and a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality.
- Can move comfortably between the test kitchen, supplier meetings, executive conversations, commissaries, and shop operations.

- Partner side-by-side with our Co-Founder & Chief Culinary Officer to bring our culinary vision to life and help shape what's next for Call Your Mother.
- Lead our Research & Development and Quality Assurance teams, building a high-performing culinary organization rooted in creativity, collaboration, and accountability.

- Collaborate with supplier partners to source, develop, and commercialize ingredients that meet our quality standards while supporting long-term growth.
- Stay relentlessly curious about food, ingredients, techniques, equipment, and consumer insights, not to chase trends, but to thoughtfully evolve the menu in ways that feel authentically Call Your Mother.
- Roll up your sleeves. Some days you'll be in the kitchen, some days in a shop, some days at a commissary, and some days in a conference room. We believe the best culinary leaders stay close to the food and the people making it.
- Competitive salary $170,000, plus annual bonus opportunity and stock options.
- Make an impact. You'll work directly with our Chief Culinary Officer to influence standards, recipes, and how every shop executes.
