Flawless Execution: Oversee high-volume production while maintaining fine-dining execution, technical precision (“just-in-time” production), and visually stunning plating for VIP events.
Tech-Driven Kitchen: Utilize industry software (NetMenu) to manage recipes, forecast accurately, and streamline production schedules.

Kitchen Leadership & Operations

Inspire the Team: Direct, schedule, and mentor a talented Back-of-House (BOH) team, including the unit chef, sous chefs, and cooks.
Smart Financial Management: Manage labor and food costs to hit financial targets, overseeing inventory, procurement, and budget planning without sacrificing quality.
Grow Talent: Lead the hiring, onboarding, and continuous professional development of kitchen staff, building a collaborative, growth-oriented workplace culture.

Gold-Standard Safety & Customer Service

Maintain Excellence: Ensure the kitchen consistently achieves a Grade A sanitation rating (95% or better) in alignment with ServSafe and Wake County Health Department guidelines.
Client-Centric Focus: Partner closely with Front-of-House (FOH) teams, nutritionists, and campus partners to customize events, resolve issues quickly, and deliver exceptional customer service.

Who You Are

A Dual-Threat Chef: You possess a proven track record blending large-scale catering production with elite, fine-dining execution.
A People Developer: You love to coach, train, and build high-performing, safe, and positive kitchen environments.
An Organized Leader: You can seamlessly pivot from the chopping block to administrative tasks, managing budgets, schedules, and cross-departmental communication with ease.
