Full-time

Melrose Umbrella Company

Location: West Hollywood, CA
Position: Full-TimeAbout Us

Melrose Umbrella Co. is a high-volume cocktail bar and restaurant known for elevated comfort food, craft cocktails, and exceptional hospitality. We are looking for a passionate, hands-on Executive Chef to lead our kitchen, mentor our team, and help grow our culinary program.

This is not an office position. We are looking for a chef who leads from the line, works alongside the team during service, and sets the standard through action.

Responsibilities
  • Lead all back-of-house operations and kitchen staff.

  • Work on the line during service and assist with prep as needed.

  • Develop seasonal menus, weekly specials, and private event menus.

  • Maintain consistency, quality, and presentation standards.

  • Manage food cost, labor, inventory, ordering, and vendor relationships.

  • Build recipes, prep systems, pars, and kitchen SOPs.

  • Hire, train, coach, and develop BOH team members.

  • Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and sanitation standards.

  • Collaborate with ownership and management to improve operations and execute private events.

  • Foster a positive, accountable, and professional kitchen culture.

Qualifications
  • Minimum of 5 years of kitchen leadership experience in a high-volume restaurant.

  • Proven experience managing food cost, labor, and inventory.

  • Strong leadership and communication skills.

  • Experience creating and costing menus.

  • Highly organized with excellent time-management skills.

  • Ability to remain calm and lead during busy services.

  • ServSafe Manager Certification (or ability to obtain one).

Who You Are
  • A hands-on leader who enjoys being on the line with the team.

  • Someone who leads by example, not from behind a desk.

  • Passionate about coaching and developing kitchen staff.

  • Organized, accountable, and solutions-oriented.

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced environment and able to adapt quickly.

  • Looking for a long-term opportunity to help build and grow a successful restaurant.

If you're passionate about food, leadership, and creating memorable guest experiences, we'd love to hear from you.
