Schedule

Full-Time Leadership Position

Location

Naples & Bonita Springs, Florida

Reports To

Ownership & Executive Leadership

Experience Required

Previous Executive Chef experience in an upscale casual or fine dining restaurant, private club, country club, hotel, or resort is required.

Opportunity

Lead our Opening Culinary Team and help shape the future of a growing hospitality company.

This Isn't Just Another Executive Chef Position.

The best Executive Chefs do far more than create great food.

They build great kitchens.

They mentor.

They teach.

They inspire.

They raise the standard every single day.

That's exactly who we're looking for.

As we prepare to open the first of several luxury private community restaurants throughout Naples and Bonita Springs, we're searching for an Executive Chef who wants more than another kitchen to run.

We're looking for someone who wants to build a culinary culture where exceptional people thrive because exceptional food is simply the result of exceptional people.

We're looking for a leader—not simply someone to fill a position.

In fact, we'd rather leave this position open than hire the wrong person.

Why Join Our Team?

· Stable year-round employment

· Competitive salary with a performance-based bonus program

· Lead our Opening Culinary Team from day one

· Help shape the culinary culture of a brand-new restaurant from the very beginning

· Collaborate directly with Ownership & Executive Leadership

· Partner with an experienced General Manager to build an exceptional dining experience

· Employee meals

· Paid Vacation & PTO

· The opportunity to grow with a hospitality company that's just getting started

Who We Are

Crave Management Group develops and operates exceptional restaurants within some of Southwest Florida's most prestigious private communities.

We believe remarkable restaurants are built by remarkable people. That's why we invest in developing great leaders, exceptional hospitality professionals, and culinary teams that take pride in their craft.

From polished service to thoughtfully prepared cuisine, every detail matters because every guest experience matters.

We don't measure success solely by the restaurants we build—we measure it by the people we develop along the way.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for professionals who share our passion for hospitality and want to build something they're proud to be part of.

Your Role

You'll lead this kitchen as if it were your own—taking pride in every plate, every process, every standard, and every member of your team.

You'll never sacrifice consistency for creativity, because every guest deserves an exceptional experience—every plate. Every guest. Every day.

As Executive Chef, you'll set the standard for everything that comes out of the kitchen.

Food quality.

Consistency.

Presentation.

Cleanliness.

Professionalism.

You'll recruit exceptional culinary professionals, develop future chefs, partner with your General Manager, and create a kitchen where excellence is expected and teamwork is celebrated.

Success in this role isn't measured only by the food you create, but by the team you build and the leaders you develop.

You'll never be expected to lead from an office. The best chefs are present in the kitchen—coaching, teaching, tasting, and leading by example every day.

Responsibilities

· Recruit, coach, inspire, and develop an exceptional culinary team.

· Lead all kitchen operations through positive, hands-on leadership.

· Maintain exceptional standards of food quality, consistency, presentation, sanitation, and organization.

· Collaborate with the General Manager to deliver an exceptional dining experience.

· Manage food cost, labor, purchasing, inventory, scheduling, and profitability.

· Build a culture rooted in accountability, teamwork, and culinary excellence.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking an accomplished culinary leader with a proven ability to build high-performing kitchen teams, develop future chefs, and consistently deliver exceptional dining experiences.

We're looking for someone who communicates professionally, remains calm under pressure, thrives on organization, embraces accountability, and genuinely enjoys mentoring others.

Strong financial acumen, menu development, recipe standardization, purchasing, inventory management, labor management, scheduling, food cost control, and financial management are essential.

ServSafe Certification and beverage knowledge are required.

Our Best Executive Chefs...

· Taste everything.

· Teach every day.

· Lead by example.

· Stay calm under pressure.

· Obsess over the details.

· Hold themselves accountable first.

· Develop future chefs.

· Never stop learning.

· Stay humble.

· Raise the standard every single day.

Your Next Great Opportunity Starts Here.

Picture yourself building a kitchen you're proud to lead.

Building a culinary team you're proud to work beside.

Creating memorable dining experiences every day.

Growing with a hospitality company that's committed to investing in its people.

If that sounds like the opportunity you've been looking for, we'd be honored to meet you.

Join Our Team. Build Something Exceptional.
We Build Restaurants People Love.
We Build Careers People Are Proud Of.
