Executive Chef

Hufft Marchand Hospitality is seeking an Executive Chef to lead and elevate our growing portfolio of Louisiana based restaurants. 

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and is passionate about building teams, systems, and food programs that consistently deliver.

• Oversee culinary operations across 4 locations
• Manage and optimize   food cost, labor cost, and overall kitchen profitability
• Lead   menu development, recipe standardization, and seasonal innovation
• Train, mentor, and develop   chefs, sous chefs, and kitchen managers
• Ensure consistency, quality, and execution across all concepts
• Build and maintain   systems for ordering, prep, and production
• Collaborate with ownership and operations on strategic growth initiatives
• Maintain high standards for   cleanliness, organization, and food safety

• Strong understanding of   P&L, food costing, and labor management
• Ability to lead teams while also being   hands-on in the kitchen when needed
• Passion for   developing people and building strong kitchen cultures
• Organized, systems-driven, and detail-oriented
• Creative mindset with a focus on   execution and scalability

Hufft Marchand Hospitality is a Louisiana based restaurant group built on the belief that great restaurants start with strong teams, thoughtful systems, and food that people genuinely crave.

Across these locations, we focus on:

• High-quality, chef-driven food   that is approachable and repeatable
• Operational discipline   with a strong emphasis on food cost, labor management, and systems
• Team development , creating real growth paths for chefs and kitchen leaders
• Consistency at scale , ensuring every guest has the same experience every time

We’re not a corporate group, and we’re not hands-off owners. We’re involved, in the kitchens, in the numbers, and in the day-to-day decisions that make restaurants successful.

As we continue to grow in Louisiana, our goal is to build a   best-in-class culinary program —one that balances creativity with execution and empowers our teams to take ownership of their kitchens.

This role is critical to that mission.

If you are interested and qualified for the position, we would love to hear from you!
