What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of Executive Chef or Chef de Cuisine experience
- Strong leadership and communication skills
- Experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
- Solid understanding of food cost, labor, and kitchen operations
- A hands-on leader who leads by example
- Someone who takes pride in developing their team and maintaining high standards
Compensation & Perks:
- $75,000–$80,000 base salary
- Bonus opportunity
- No late nights — restaurant closes at 9 PM
- Popular breakfast, lunch, and dinner operation
