Executive Chef
Welcome to The Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG), where hospitality is more than a job; it's a family, a lifestyle, and an exciting journey. We believe that by taking care of you, you'll best take care of our guests. It's working. In addition to generous benefits and job openings across 30+ locations, we have internal growth opportunities for everyone who wants it. But most of all, we have heart!
Why Us:
Founded in 2009 by Steve Palmer, IRHG sets itself apart in the industry by fostering an environment where our people come first. We want to meet you. Come join us in our mission to change the hospitality industry, forever.
The Role:
As the Executive Chef, you will work the line and will be excited to encourage staff development and promote a positive experience for staff and guests to achieve P&L goals. You'll look over all aspects of the kitchen including problem resolution and effective communication to get the job done. As an ambassador for Indigo Road, you'll authentically embrace internal hospitality and strive to create memorable experiences for people through food.
What we will ask of you:
- Champion of internal hospitality and leading a team to craft dishes that leave last impressions.
- Nurture and inspire a culture of creativity, collaboration, and innovation.
- You're a hands-on leader and love working in the trenches with the team.
- Collaborate with the GM and leaders from the Home Office to maximize kitchen operations. Ensure quality control, inventory management, and adhere to health and safety standards. Play a pivotal role in managing labor, budgets, forecasts, and ensure the bottom line meets pre-determined expectations.
Requirements for Success:
- 5+ years of experience in kitchen management and menu creation
- Dedication to serve others, internally (team-members) and guests.
- Hands-on, passion for cooking and not a "clip-board' chef.
- Work with local farmers to purchase fresh product and serve quality dishes.
- Strong sense of finances, labor, quality control, and "getting the job done."
Benefits:
- Competitive Compensation: Competitive base pay, performance-based bonuses (paid quarterly), and PTO benefits after 90 days.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive health insurance coverage, including medical, dental, vision, and more.
- Financial Planning: Access to a 401K plan with a 50% match on your first 6% investment, along with Roth options.
- Home Loan Program: We offer a zero-interest housing loan program to help you achieve your dream of home ownership.
- Employee Discounts: Enjoy discounts at our 15 restaurant concepts and growing boutique hotels division.
- Family Time: Benefit from 4 weeks of PTO for maternity/paternity leave.
