Full Job Description

Who We Are

At Hawkers Asian Street Food, our purpose is simple: we spark adventure. Everything we do is driven by three mantras that define who we are and how we show up every day. We always care — for each and every guest as if they are our only guest, and for our team as family. We never compromise — paying attention to the details and maximizing the potential in every team member and every experience. And we be disruptive — challenging the status quo, refusing to succumb to industry norms, and continually raising the bar.

If you’re ready to bring that spirit to work every single day, we want you on our team.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Executive Chef is the senior culinary leader at the restaurant level, responsible for overseeing all Back of House operations, culinary execution, team development, and financial performance. This role owns the guest experience from a food perspective and is directly accountable for food cost, labor cost, kitchen sanitation, equipment maintenance, and the development of the Sous Chef and culinary team.

The Executive Chef works in close partnership with the General Manager and Regional Chef to drive sales, profitability, and operational excellence. This is a full-time, salaried, exempt position. Open availability is required, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
