Executive Chef

Carfagna’s Italian Market & Ristorante | Columbus, Ohio

Leadership. Craftsmanship. Legacy.

Carfagna’s Italian Market & Ristorante is seeking an exceptional Executive Chef to lead one of Central Ohio’s most respected family-owned culinary organizations.

This is more than a kitchen management position. We are searching for a proven culinary leader who understands that the true role of an Executive Chef is to build people, create systems, and inspire excellence every day. Our next Executive Chef will protect the Carfagna family legacy while helping shape its future.

If you believe great restaurants are built through disciplined leadership, exceptional food, financial accountability, and a culture of mentorship, we would like to meet you.

The Opportunity

As Executive Chef, you will be responsible for the overall leadership of our culinary operation, ensuring every guest receives an exceptional dining experience while developing a team capable of delivering consistent excellence every day.

Success in this role requires equal parts chef, teacher, coach, business leader, and culture builder.

Key Responsibilities

● Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing culinary team.

● Maintain exceptional standards of food quality, consistency, and presentation.

● Build systems that create operational excellence through preparation, organization, and accountability.

● Manage food cost, labor, purchasing, inventory, and kitchen productivity to achieve financial objectives.

● Ensure best-in-class sanitation, cleanliness, food safety, and kitchen organization.

● Partner closely with restaurant leadership to drive performance, innovation, and guest satisfaction.

● Foster a culture built on professionalism, respect, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

The Leader We’re Looking For

Our ideal Executive Chef:

● Leads by example and earns respect through actions, not title.

● Remains calm, organized, and decisive under pressure.

● Develops future leaders through coaching, accountability, and daily mentorship.

● Understands both the art of exceptional cuisine and the business of running a successful kitchen.

● Takes pride in building systems that produce consistency, not dependence.

● Values humility, integrity, and continuous learning.

Qualifications

● Executive Chef or Executive Sous Chef experience in a high-volume, quality-focused restaurant.

● Strong financial acumen with experience managing food cost, labor, inventory, and purchasing.

● Demonstrated success developing teams and building a positive kitchen culture.

● Excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills.

● Commitment to excellence in every aspect of the guest experience.

Why Carfagna’s

For generations, Carfagna’s has been synonymous with quality, hospitality, and family tradition. Our commitment to exceptional food and genuine hospitality continues to define who we are.

Joining Carfagna’s means becoming part of a respected organization that values craftsmanship, leadership, and long-term relationships. We are committed to investing in our people and creating an environment where talented professionals can build meaningful careers.

Our Mission

Our greatest responsibility is not simply creating exceptional food—it is developing exceptional people.

We believe outstanding kitchens are built by leaders who inspire others, establish clear expectations, and create a culture of accountability and respect. The Executive Chef who succeeds at Carfagna’s will leave more than a menu—they will leave a legacy of people, systems, and excellence.

If you’re ready to lead with purpose, mentor the next generation of culinary professionals, and help write the next chapter of the Carfagna family story, we invite you to apply.
