What We’re Looking For
  • Proven leadership experience in a high-level kitchen
  • Strong understanding of ordering, inventory, prep systems, and scheduling
  • Ability to lead from the front during service
  • Passion for hospitality and team development
  • Someone organized, driven, creative, and calm under pressure
  • A chef who understands both the art and business of restaurants
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary (DOE)
  • Growth opportunities within a multi-concept hospitality group
  • Creative freedom and collaboration
  • Supportive ownership team
  • Opportunity to make a real impact
