You Will: Lead all kitchen operations — including menu R&D, costing, prep guides, ordering, scheduling, and sanitation. Hire, train, and mentor a talented BOH team while modeling calm, clean, and organized execution. Engineer a profitable lunch menu and rollout plan without compromising culinary quality.

Requirements You Bring: 5–8+ years in refined or fine dining, with 2–3+ years at CDC or Executive Chef level. Proven team leadership, tasting-level excellence, and a creative approach to seasonal Mediterranean cuisine. Strong cost control, systems thinking, and ServSafe Manager certification. A portfolio, social media handle, or press features that showcase your craft are encouraged. Compensation: Competitive base salary ($115,000+), performance bonus, comprehensive benefits, and dining perks.
