About The Opportunity

Are you a culinary leader ready to run a high-volume kitchen at the top of its game?

We're looking for an experienced Head Chef to lead all kitchen operations at a premier dining destination in Chicago.

In this role, you'll work closely with the Executive Chef, Sous Chef, and Head Itamae to drive consistent quality, operational efficiency, and financial performance across the kitchen.

Train & Build Culture: Train, develop, and evaluate kitchen staff on culinary techniques, recipes, and food safety standards, fostering a high-performance team
Drive Profitability: Manage kitchen budgets, food cost targets, and inventory controls; supervise purchasing, receiving, and storage to support financial efficiency
Manage Operations: Implement line checks before and after each service, maintain stock rotation, and ensure the kitchen is fully prepared and audit-ready at all times
Ensure Compliance: Uphold sanitation, food safety, and hygiene regulations, maintaining a clean, organized kitchen environment
Collaborate & Innovate: Contribute to menu development and propose seasonal or special dishes, ensuring recipe standardization and alignment with brand strategy

Expertise: Strong knowledge of fish and seafood (types, characteristics, seasonality) and traditional Japanese and Nikkei cuisine
Food Safety: In-depth knowledge of food contamination risk control and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Business Acumen: Comfort with input control, recipe standardization, cost management, and inventory oversight
Leadership: Ability to communicate effectively, develop talent, promote engagement, and lead a team in a fast-paced environment

Education

Professional culinary training or technical studies in Gastronomy or Culinary Arts is preferred but not required — demonstrated expertise counts.

Technical Skills

Intermediate to advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office and kitchen system platforms
Advanced English communication skills (written and verbal); Spanish preferred
Food Safety Certification (or willingness to obtain)

What We Offer:
