Executive Chef All Locations

HOUSEpitality Family is a growing restaurant group, and we build our culinary leadership bench ahead of need that means we are always open to speaking with talented culinary leaders, even when no specific opening is listed. We promote from within first, but we are always looking to speak with talented, passionate individuals. If you think you'd be a great fit for our team, we'd like to talk with you. Qualified candidates may be considered for current or future opportunities across our eight Richmond-area restaurants, spanning waterfront seafood, Mexican, coastal, and French brasserie concepts.

HOUSEpitality Family proudly owns and operates eight restaurants in and around Richmond, VA: The Boathouse (Sunday Park, Rocketts Landing, Short Pump, and City Point), Casa del Barco (Canal Walk and Short Pump), Island Shrimp Co., and Can Can Brasserie. We Celebrate Life One Bite At A Time, and we're building a team of passionate, driven people who want to grow in a culture rooted in Integrity, Innovation, Knowledge, and Empowerment.

As an Executive Chef, you will own the entire culinary operation of a high-volume, full-service restaurant: menu execution and development, food cost and inventory management, kitchen labor and scheduling, hiring and developing your culinary team, vendor relationships, and food safety and sanitation standards. You'll partner closely with the General Manager to deliver an exceptional guest experience and a healthy P&L, and you'll have a real voice in the creative direction of your kitchen.

Executive Chef salaries start at $65,000 and range to $90,000+ depending on experience and qualifications. All of our managers move through a structured career path; upon graduating (typically within your first few months), you qualify for an annual bonus opportunity starting at $6,000 based on performance metrics, with bonus potential that grows from there.

Health/dental/vision benefits, paid time off, dining privileges across all eight restaurants, creative input on your menu, and growth opportunities across multiple concepts and cuisines within one group.

Apply with your resume. All inquiries are handled confidentially. Even if the timing isn't perfect today, we'd love to stay connected about future opportunities.
