Job Description

Executive Chef – Fine Dining Steakhouse (New Restaurant Opening)

Relocation Provided | Above-Average Compensation

Build the kitchen. Set the standard. Grow with the brand.

We are seeking a career-driven Executive Chef to open a brand-new fine dining steakhouse with a growing organization. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity: you will build and train the kitchen team, own the standards, and set the culture from day one — with a clear path to grow as the brand continues to expand.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead all back-of-house operations for a new fine dining steakhouse opening
  • Recruit, hire, train, and develop the opening kitchen team
  • Own execution of prime steaks and scratch-made cuisine at fine dining standards
  • Establish systems for food quality, consistency, safety, and sanitation from day one
  • Manage food costs, labor, inventory, and vendor relationships
  • Partner closely with the General Manager to deliver a seamless guest experience
  • Build an accountable, positive kitchen culture where people want to stay and grow
  • Identify and develop future kitchen leaders as the organization expands

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Executive Chef or senior culinary leadership experience in fine dining, upscale steakhouse, or polished hospitality
  • Strong command of prime steaks, scratch execution, and elevated plate presentation
  • New restaurant opening experience is a strong plus
  • A hands-on leader who builds, teaches, and develops teams
  • Strong financial acumen: food cost, labor, inventory, and P&L partnership
  • High personal standards, attention to detail, and pride in every plate
  • A career-driven mindset and the desire to grow with an expanding brand

Why Join Us?

  • Above-average compensation package
  • Relocation expenses provided
  • Open a restaurant from day one and make it yours
  • Join a growing organization that promotes from within — real future growth as new locations open
  • Lead a kitchen committed to exceptional food and memorable hospitality

If you are a culinary leader who believes every detail matters and wants to build something from the ground up, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
