Production Chef
My Fit Foods | Houston, TX
Full-Time | $70,000–$90,000 + Monthly Performance Bonuses
Lead From the Front. Deliver Quality at Scale.
My Fit Foods is growing, and we’re looking for a hands-on Production Chef to lead high-volume culinary production in our Houston kitchen.
The Opportunity
This role is ideal for a culinary leader with large-batch cooking experience from a hotel, banquet operation, catering company, commissary, restaurant, or food-production facility.
You do not need to be an Executive Chef or Sous Chef. What matters is your ability to organize large-scale production, lead a team, and consistently execute at a high level.
This is not a desk job. You’ll be on the floor working alongside the team and keeping production on track.

- Maintain quality-control, portioning, and food-safety standards
- Train, coach, and hold team members accountable
- Monitor production and adjust the plan when necessary
- Control labor through effective planning and time management
- Communicate with Kitchen Managers, culinary leadership, and other departments
- Improve production flow, efficiency, and quality
- Maintain a clean, organized, and professional kitchen
- Build a positive and accountable team culture
What You Bring
- Proven high-volume or large-batch cooking experience
- Experience leading cooks or kitchen team members
- Strong production planning and organizational skills

- The ability to remain calm and make decisions under pressure
- A hands-on leadership style
- Bilingual English and Spanish communication skills
- A genuine commitment to food quality and consistency
Relevant backgrounds may include:
- Lead Cook

- Production Chef
- Sous Chef
- Banquet Chef

- Kitchen Manager
- Restaurant Manager with strong culinary experience
- Another hands-on culinary leadership role
What You Get
- $70,000–$90,000 annual salary, based on experience
- Monthly performance bonus opportunities
- Career advancement within a growing culinary organization
- A potential path into a Corporate Production Chef or multi-market leadership role
- Future travel opportunities as My Fit Foods expands
- The ability to directly influence production quality and efficiency
