Executive Chef | Cornerstone PubBuild Something Worth Being Proud Of.

Cornerstone Pub is seeking an Executive Chef to lead our culinary program and help establish the foundation of a new restaurant built on craftsmanship, accountability, and hospitality.

This is not a turnaround job.

This is an opportunity to build a kitchen the right way from the beginning.

We're looking for a leader who understands that great restaurants are built through consistency, discipline, systems, and respect for people.

Chef-driven food culture
Professional standards
Strong community roots

Our restaurant was founded by tradesmen who believe in craftsmanship, hard work, and taking pride in what you build.

Those values guide everything we do.

The Opportunity

As Executive Chef, you will be responsible for all back-of-house operations including:

Leading and developing the kitchen team
Hiring, training, and retaining staff
Establishing systems and standards
Managing food cost and labor performance
Inventory, purchasing, and vendor relationships
Recipe execution and quality control
Food safety and sanitation compliance
Menu development and seasonal features
Working alongside ownership and the General Manager to build a culture that lasts

This role is about leadership, not ego.

We're looking for someone who can create structure, develop people, and maintain standards without creating fear or chaos.

What We're Looking ForRequired

5+ years of kitchen leadership experience
Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine, or Sous Chef experience in a high-volume environment

Experience developing teams and mentoring cooks
ServSafe Food Manager Certification
Strong organizational and communication skills

The Right Candidate

You are:

Calm under pressure
Accountable
Consistent
Professional
Detail-oriented
Respected by your team

You understand that:

Standards create pride
Systems create consistency
Leadership is earned daily
Culture starts at the top

Compensation

$60,000 salary
Paid vacation
Opportunity for future performance-based incentives
Input on menu development
Leadership role within a growing organization

Our Culture

We are not interested in screaming, blaming, or kitchen politics.

We believe great kitchens can be demanding without being toxic.

We work hard.

We support each other.

We hold each other accountable.

And we take pride in what we put on every plate.

If you're looking to build something meaningful from the ground up and leave your fingerprint on a growing restaurant, we'd love to talk.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $58,000.00 per year
