What You'll Do

  • Lead daily BOH operations in a high-volume, scratch kitchen, staying connected to the line, prep, and service flow
  • Set and maintain standards for food quality, recipe execution, presentation, and kitchen organization
  • Ensure the highest levels of cleanliness, food safety, and sanitation at all times
  • Oversee labor scheduling, staffing, and productivity to support smooth, efficient service
  • Manage par levels, ordering systems, inventory, and waste control to protect food and labor costs
  • Support P&L performance through disciplined cost control and budgeting awareness
  • Coach, mentor, and develop sous chefs and kitchen staff, building teams that perform and stay
  • Work closely with FOH leadership to keep service seamless between the kitchen and dining room
  • Partner with leadership to identify operational improvements that support consistency and profitability
  • Maintain a working understanding of beverage offerings, including wine, to support menu pairings and the overall guest experience
  • Lead by example in the kitchen, setting the tone for professionalism, accountability, and teamwork

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as an Executive Chef in a high-volume, upscale to fine, or polished dining restaurant
  • Strong background in scratch cooking within a corporate restaurant environment ($6M+ annual revenue)
  • 3+ years of stable, progressive experience in an Executive Chef role
  • Hands-on BOH leadership with experience managing food cost, labor, and P&L performance
  • Comfort working within corporate systems and established operating standards
  • A calm, steady leader who solves problems in the moment and keeps the kitchen moving
  • A chef who values consistency, team development, and long-term success over short-term wins
