BBQ Chef

We're a fast-growing Chinese hotpot and BBQ restaurant in San Francisco, and we're now expanding our kitchen with authentic American BBQ. We're looking for passionate BBQ chefs who know their way around smoke, fire, and flavor from slow-smoked brisket and ribs to Asian-style Yakiniku and hotpot grill. If you love working with premium meats and want to help develop bold, unforgettable flavors for a next-generation dining concept, this is your role.

Responsibilities:

Smoke, grill, and prepare high-quality meats (brisket, ribs, chicken, pork belly, Wagyu, lamb, etc.)
Balance flavors and techniques between American BBQ and Asian BBQ
Slice, marinate, and season proteins for both BBQ and hotpot service
Maintain consistency in marinades, rubs, and smoke profiles
Maintain kitchen cleanliness and follow strict food safety standards
Collaborate with the team to test new recipes and develop new menu items
Support delivery operations, including proper packaging, portioning, and quality control for off-site orders
Assist with inventory management and prep list planning

Work evening/night shifts (4 PM 12 AM) and support peak dinner service.

Requirements:

Experience in American BBQ (smoking, grilling, slow-cooking) strongly preferred
Kitchen experience in Chinese or Asian cuisine (Hotpot/Yakiniku) is a plus
Strong knife skills and attention to detail
Interest in product development and menu innovation
Experience with or interest in delivery prep and packaging is a plus
Team player with a great attitude and communication skills

Can work nights, weekends, and holidays
Authorized to work in the U.S.
