- Monitor food cost, labor, purchasing, inventory, and kitchen efficiencies
- Support Executive Chef hiring, interviews, leadership development, and succession planning
- Lead restaurant visits, observe service, provide real-time coaching, and implement action plans
- Assist with new restaurant openings, menu rollouts, recipe implementation, and operational initiatives
- Collaborate with senior culinary leadership on continuous improvement and long-term growth strategies
- Travel throughout your region, prioritizing the restaurants where your leadership has the greatest impact
What We're Looking For
- Multi-unit culinary leadership experience within upscale, full-service restaurants
- Executive Chef background in high-volume, chef-driven concepts
- Proven ability to coach and develop Executive Chefs into stronger leaders
- Experience overseeing multiple restaurant locations and maintaining operational consistency
- Strong business acumen with demonstrated success managing food cost, labor, inventory, purchasing, and P&L performance
- Hands-on leadership style with a passion for teaching, mentoring, and developing people
- Scratch kitchen experience strongly preferred
- Experience supporting multiple restaurant concepts and new openings is highly desirable
- Comfortable traveling regularly between restaurant locations and adapting to changing business needs
Compensation & Benefits
- $115,000-$125,000 base salary
- Lucrative, attainable performance bonus
- Monthly vehicle/travel allowance
- Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
- Paid Time Off
- Negotiable relocation assistance for exceptional candidates
Why This Opportunity?
This organization is entering an exciting period of growth with multiple restaurant openings planned over the coming years. You'll work directly with executive culinary leadership while helping shape the next generation of chefs and restaurant leaders.
If you're looking for a role where you can make a measurable impactnot only on restaurant performance but on the careers of the people you leadthis is an outstanding opportunity.
