Position Description:

Company Summary

ELIA Group is a multi-faceted, fully integrated real estate and hospitality company that acquires, develops, and manages commercial properties in landmark locations throughout the United States.

Whether we’re crafting deals or cocktails, our unparalleled attention to detail leads to award-winning real estate development and hospitality projects.

Job Summary

The Director of Culinary Operations is responsible for ensuring flawless execution of all heart-of-house (HOH) operations across the company’s multi-venue portfolio. This role emphasizes operational excellence, driving consistency, accountability, team performance, and profitability. The Director of Culinary Operations translates strategy into action by building scalable systems, strengthening leadership teams, and maintaining rigorous operational standards across the portfolio.

Conduct structured culinary audits and quality reviews at all locations.
Partner with Executive Chefs to maintain menu integrity and execution standards.
Drive continuous improvement in kitchen workflows and production efficiency.

Operational Controls & Cost Discipline

Implement and enforce rigorous cost-control systems, including:

o Weekly inventory counts

o Recipe costing and yield verification

o Opening & closing checklists (Jolt or equivalent system)

Monitor and analyze food cost trends and implement corrective action plans.
Develop and standardize prep pars, ordering systems, and inventory management frameworks.
Identify operational inefficiencies and implement measurable improvements.

Labor Optimization & Productivity

Develop labor models and kitchen staffing frameworks that balance excellence with profitability.
Oversee scheduling discipline and productivity benchmarks across venues.
Establish clear kitchen KPIs, including:

o Food cost targets

Build structured development programs for Executive Chefs, Sous Chefs, and BOH leadership.
Establish clear performance expectations and evaluation frameworks.
Create succession planning systems for key kitchen leadership roles.
Foster a culture of ownership, discipline, urgency, and continuous improvement.
Provide direct coaching to underperforming culinary leaders and implement corrective plans where necessary.

Systems, Scalability & Growth

Lead operational readiness planning for new restaurant launches.
Standardize training materials, prep guides, recipe manuals, and execution playbooks.
Ensure seamless replication of brand standards across all current and future venues.

Compliance & Risk Management

Ensure strict adherence to food safety, sanitation, and regulatory standards across all jurisdictions.
Conduct internal compliance audits and corrective action follow-ups.
Maintain ServSafe and health department excellence standards.

What We Expect of You

At ELIA, we use our unique experience and contributions to deliver more than value – we set new standards! We seek someone that is looking for more than a job – we want to work with someone who is as passionate as us about what we do and how we go about doing it.

10+ years of multi-unit restaurant operations leadership experience (fine dining preferred).
Proven track record of implementing and enforcing SOPs across multiple locations.
Strong financial acumen, including deep expertise in food cost management and kitchen labor modeling.
Demonstrated success driving measurable performance improvements in multi-venue environments.
