  • Maintain inventory levels, control food costs, and manage vendor relationships
  • Act as the kitchen leader in the Executive Chefs absence, ensuring smooth execution of all services
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of culinary leadership experience, ideally in catering
  • Degree or certification from a recognized culinary school preferred
  • Proven expertise in upscale, event-driven cuisine and high-volume execution
  • Exceptional leadership, organizational, and time management skills
  • Deep knowledge of food safety protocols and kitchen compliance
  • Flexible schedule, including availability for weekends and extended hours as needed
  • Creative, solution-oriented, and thrives under pressure
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
  • Opportunities for creative input in menu design and seasonal planning
  • A collaborative, high-end work environment focused on innovation and growth
  • Professional development opportunities
