Position Overview
We're looking for an Executive Chef to own culinary execution across multiple café locations and our commissary operation. This is not a “stay in the kitchen all day” role—this is a field leader, systems builder, and standards enforcer. You will be responsible for food quality, consistency, cost control, team development, and menu innovation across all units. You will work directly with ownership and Restaurant Managers to translate vision into scalable execution.
Bottom line: if it's coming out of the kitchen, you own it.
