Role Overview: We are seeking an experienced Consulting Chef — ideally a retired or former executive chef — to work 1–2 days per week developing recipes, improving prep systems, and training staff.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop new recipes for deli, bakery, and catering menus

  • Standardize existing recipes with clear weights, steps, and yields, as well as standardizing seasonal menus. 

  • Create ESL‑friendly prep guides and station SOPs

  • Improve workflow, organization, and consistency across kitchen stations

  • Train staff on technique, efficiency, and quality standards

  • Assist with new catering items (hot sliders, entrées, salads, etc.)

  • Help reduce waste and streamline daily prep

  • Collaborate with management on menu development and costing

Ideal Candidate:

  • Former or semi‑retired Executive Chef, Sous Chef, or Culinary Instructor

  • Strong background in recipe development and kitchen operations

  • Comfortable working in a deli/bakery environment

  • Patient, organized, and excellent at training diverse teams

  • Enjoys improving systems and building consistency

  • Available for ongoing weekly consulting (not full‑time)
