A supportive, purpose-driven kitchen culture

Creative involvement in an ever-changing, seasonal menu

What We’re Looking For:

Kind, respectful leadership—no ego, no drama
Strong team player who fosters a positive, professional work environment
Excellent organizational skills and a sharp attention to detail
Clear, timely communication—especially in written/email form
Confident decision-making under pressure
Experience with ordering, par systems, and inventory management
Ability to manage and uphold BOH systems and sanitation standards
Execute food to a high, consistent standard—always aligning with the CDC and chef team’s vision.
Creative and thoughtful approach to family meal
Pasta cooking experience strongly preferred. Especially with high volume.
Passion for vegetables and seasonal produce. Including pickling, preserving, and utilizing every part of the harvest.
Committed to Sustainability and the longevity of our industry.

Daisies is rooted in Midwestern values and driven by a commitment to craft. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career with a team dedicated to excellence, sustainability, and integrity—we would love to hear from you.
