Job Description
Executive Chef
Westwood, MA
If you’re ready to run your kitchen like it’s your own business — with real influence, strong compensation, and the ability to build a team and menu you’re proud of — this is your opportunity.
We’re hiring an Executive Chef to lead a high-volume, Italian-inspired, neighborhood-driven concept known for vibrant energy, polished execution, and a loyal guest following. This is a scratch-driven, hospitality-first environment where food quality, culture, and profitability matter equally.
What’s In It For You
- $100,000 – $125,000 base compensation
- Paid vacation, sick, and holiday time
- Medical, Dental, Vision
- Flexible & Dependent Care Spending Accounts
- Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
- 100% company-paid LTD, Life & AD&D Insurance
- Strong 401k match
- Employee ownership opportunity — build equity while you build the business
- 35% dining discount (food & beverage)
- Referral bonuses & tenure rewards
- Telemedicine access
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Additional voluntary benefit options
This is more than a job — it’s a leadership role with long-term upside.
The Role
As Executive Chef, you will own the kitchen. This includes:
- Full oversight of BOH operations in a high-volume environment
- Driving labor and food cost performance
- Budgeting and financial accountability
- Menu engineering and execution
- Hiring, training, coaching, and performance management
- Building a disciplined, high-performing, positive kitchen culture
- Maintaining safety, sanitation, and operational standards
You’ll partner closely with front-of-house leadership to ensure the guest experience matches the energy of the concept: welcoming, polished, and fun — without losing culinary integrity.
What You Bring
- 3–5+ years as an Executive Chef in a high-volume setting
- Strong financial acumen (P&L, food cost, labor modeling)
- Proven ability to develop and retain BOH talent
- Passion for Italian-inspired cuisine and scratch execution
- Calm, composed leadership under pressure
- Culinary degree preferred (exceptional experience considered)
- Flexibility to work nights, weekends, and peak business periods
If you’re a chef who understands that great culture drives great food — and great food drives great business — let’s talk.
