Full Job Description

Culinary Lead – Full Time

Optimized Senior Living – Fairfield Campus
Location: Fairfield, Ohio

Cook With Purpose. Create Food That Feels Like Home.

At Optimized Senior Living, food is one of the most meaningful parts of our residents’ day. We believe meals should feel warm, comforting, and thoughtfully prepared — not institutional.

We are looking for a passionate culinary professional to lead the kitchen at our Fairfield campus and bring creativity, hospitality, and consistency to the dining experience for our residents.

If you enjoy cooking from scratch, creating beautiful plates, and building relationships with the people you cook for, this role offers something special: the chance to cook meals that truly matter.

You won’t just be feeding people — you’ll be brightening their day.

What You'll Do

Create Exceptional Home-Style Meals

Prepare daily meals for residents.
Cook meals that feel comforting, familiar, and restaurant-quality.
Plate meals in an attractive and thoughtful way that enhances the dining experience.

Get to Know Your “Guests”

Our residents are like family.

You will:

Learn resident favorites and personal preferences
Accommodate dietary needs and therapeutic diets
Keep favorite treats and snacks available
Create moments of joy through food.

Lead the Culinary Experience

You will take ownership of:

Creating menus using Grove Menus
Planning meals for all Optimized locations
Balancing nutrition, variety, and resident preferences
Baking fresh items for residents to enjoy throughout the week

Prep Ahead & Run an Organized Kitchen

Prepare food ahead for your days off to ensure consistency.
Maintain an organized kitchen with proper food storage and inventory.
Keep baked goods and snacks available for residents.

Meal Service

Meals are served:

In resident rooms when needed
In the shared kitchen/dining spaces

Presentation and timing matter — you’ll help create a pleasant dining experience every day.

Regulatory & Dietary Standards

Meals must meet the standards outlined in:

Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3701-16-10

You will ensure:

Proper dietary compliance
Safe food handling
Sanitation and kitchen standards

Schedule

Full-time
5 days per week
8-hour shifts
Focus on lunch and dinner service

No late-night restaurant shifts.

The Ideal Candidate

This role is perfect for someone who:

Loves cooking from scratch
Takes pride in presentation and food quality
Enjoys cooking for the same people and getting to know them
Wants a stable schedule without late nights
Enjoys creating a hospitality-driven dining experience

Experience We Value

Culinary or professional kitchen experience
Restaurant, catering, private chef, or hospitality background
Experience with dietary needs or therapeutic diets (helpful but not required)

Most important: a passion for food and caring for people.

Why This Job is Different

Most kitchen jobs focus on speed and volume.

This role focuses on meaning.

Our residents look forward to meals every day. The right cook becomes a central part of their daily happiness.

You’ll have:

A consistent schedule
Creative input into menus
The chance to cook food people truly appreciate
A warm environment where relationships matter.

Come help us create meals that feel like home.
