Group Chef / Culinary Operations Manager - Multi-Restaurant Group
Job Description
We are looking for a hands-on culinary leader to help strengthen and organize our growing restaurant group.
This is not a traditional Executive Chef role. We are looking for someone who understands kitchen systems, food cost control, menu development, and operational efficiency across multiple locations.
Our group includes:
* A high-volume family restaurant
* A diner concept
* A pizzeria
* A coffee shop
Responsibilities:
* Develop profitable daily and weekly specials
* Improve food cost and reduce waste
* Standardize recipes and prep systems
* Train kitchen staff and sous chefs
* Improve kitchen organization and workflow
* Support menu development across locations
* Help management improve purchasing and inventory control
* Introduce systems that make kitchens easier to run and more profitable
Ideal Candidate:
* 5+ years kitchen leadership experience
* Multi-unit experience preferred
* Strong understanding of food cost and margins
* Strong organizational skills
* Practical and hands-on leadership style
* Passion for improving teams, not just cooking
What we offer:
* Competitive salary based on experience
* Opportunity to influence multiple restaurants
* Growth opportunity within an expanding restaurant group
* Stable ownership committed to improvement
This is a leadership role for someone who wants to build systems, improve teams, and make restaurants more successful, not just run a single kitchen.
Send a resume and a short introduction describing your experience improving kitchen operations.
