Executive Chef
Independent lifestyle hotel | Midwest | $120K$130K + 30% Incentive
Design-led hotel. Local-sustainably focused. Backed by ownership committed to the culinary program.
We're building the culinary identity of a high-profile, independent property coming out of a major reinvestment. The kitchen is dialed, the concept has traction, and this role owns the next chapter, restaurant, bar, and events. Includes a destination restaurant doing up to $10M annually.
This is not a maintenance role. It's for a chef who wants to shape something, not inherit something.
What stands out
- Ownership of the food program across multiple outlets
- Recently renovated, high-functioning kitchen
- Operator mindset expected, creativity without losing the numbers
- Collaborative environment with strong FOH and beverage leadership
- Culture-first team, no tolerance for ego-driven kitchens
Who fits
- Executive chef, CDC, or strong exec sous ready to step up
- Has led serious volume or multi-outlet complexity
- Knows how to balance creativity with cost, labor, and consistency
- Builds teams that stay, develops people, sets the tone
- U.S.-based, open to relocation
Comp + setup
- $120K$130K base
- ~30% incentive potential
- Relocation support
- Excellent benefits and PTO
The brand has national credibility, but this property runs with independence. If you've ever said, "I want to take the culinary program to the next level," this is that platform.
Confidential conversation to start.
DSG fosters a professional, inclusive recruitment process designed to source candidates from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This approach strengthens organizations by promoting innovation and broad perspectives. Final hiring decisions are made in partnership with, and at the discretion of, each client.
