Job Description
The Opportunity
This is not simply a back-of-house management role - this is a premier culinary leadership position at one of Orange County's most visible restaurants.
As Chef de Cuisine, you will:
- Lead a large, high-performing culinary brigade in a high-volume, upscale dining environment
- Drive consistency and excellence across premium steaks, chops, seafood, and seasonal features
- Inspire innovation while protecting the integrity of a proven, high-performing concept
- Set the tone for kitchen culture - disciplined, collaborative, accountable, and proud
- Partner closely with the Executive Chef and senior leadership to execute strategic culinary initiatives
You will be hands-on, present on the line, and relentlessly focused on execution. Every plate that leaves the pass represents our brand - and your leadership.
What You'll Own
- Daily kitchen operations and service execution at the highest level
- Culinary training, mentorship, and development of sous chefs and line cooks
- Labor management and food cost performance in a high-volume setting
- Menu implementation and seasonal rollouts
- Inventory management, purchasing, and vendor partnerships
- Health, safety, and sanitation excellence
- Seamless collaboration with front-of-house leadership to deliver a refined, high-touch guest experience
Who You Are
- 4+ years as a Chef de Cuisine or Executive Sous Chef in a $10MM+ upscale restaurant
- A proven leader of large teams in high-expectation environments
- Financially savvy - you understand margins, labor models, and cost controls
- Passionate about premium ingredients, technique, and presentation
- Calm under pressure and energized by volume
- A culture-builder who develops people while holding high standards
A culinary degree is preferred, though demonstrated excellence and progressive growth matter most.
Why Us?
- Competitive base salary: $110,000–$120,000 + bonus potential
- Comprehensive benefits package
- The opportunity to lead at one of Southern California's most recognized independent restaurants
- Visibility within Specialty Restaurants Corporation, a respected, privately held restaurant group with iconic properties
- Real opportunity for career progression within a growing organization
