Full Job Description

We are currently seeking a skilled Onsite Personal Chef (private/offsite execution role) to join our team immediately for a dedicated wellness program in Huntington Beach, California. This is a hands-on position where you will prepare and serve buffet-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Friday for a group of 26 guests. The role reports directly to and is overseen by our Executive Chef.

Key Responsibilities:

Prepare and execute high-quality, buffet-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner service Monday–Friday for 26 wellness program participants, adhering strictly to provided recipes and rotating menu.
Cook and present food in a professional, appealing manner that aligns with our seed oil-free, soy-free, grass-fed/pastured ingredient philosophy.
Manage daily kitchen operations to ensure efficient prep, cooking, service, and cleanup in time for each meal period.
Oversee the pantry program: Place orders twice weekly through US Foods, conduct in-person purchasing at Restaurant Depot as needed, manage pantry inventory levels, track stock, minimize waste, and ensure all necessary ingredients are available.
Maintain exceptional kitchen cleanliness, organization, and compliance with all health, safety, and food handling standards.
Collaborate closely with the Executive Chef for any adjustments, feedback, or support needed to deliver consistent results.
Support occasional program needs, such as portioning or special accommodations within the established guidelines.

Qualifications:

Proven experience in high-volume food preparation and service, ideally in settings like catering, meal prep, wellness programs, corporate dining, or group meal service (experience with buffet-style service is a plus).
Strong cooking skills with the ability to consistently execute recipes at scale while maintaining flavor, presentation, and quality.
Solid inventory management and control experience, including ordering, stock rotation, and vendor coordination (experience with US Foods or similar broadline distributors and bulk purchasing like Restaurant Depot preferred).
Kitchen management or food service management background, with comfort handling full meal cycles independently.
Supervisory or team lead experience is advantageous, though this role is primarily hands-on individual execution.
Knowledge of or enthusiasm for clean eating principles, dietary wellness, and sourcing high-quality proteins (grass-fed, pastured, etc.).
Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
Food safety certification (ServSafe or equivalent) preferred.
Immediate availability to start required.

This is a private onsite chef position within our wellness program, offering the opportunity to make a direct impact on participants' health through nutritious, delicious meals. If you thrive in a structured environment with clear recipes and menus, enjoy hands-on cooking for groups, and excel at inventory/pantry management, we want to hear from you!

Location: Huntington Beach, CA
Schedule: Monday–Friday (full days for breakfast, lunch, dinner service)
Start Date: Immediate
