Executive Chef: Dryft Revere | Revere Beach, MA

Lead the Culinary Vision at One of Greater Boston's Premier Waterfront Restaurants

Dryft Revere is seeking an exceptional Executive Chef to lead the culinary program at our flagship oceanfront restaurant. Located directly on historic Revere Beach, Dryft has become a destination for elevated coastal dining, private events, and memorable hospitality.

This is an opportunity for a passionate culinary leader to make a lasting impact. We're looking for someone who thrives on building exceptional teams, creating outstanding food, and driving operational excellence while working alongside an ownership group that is committed to investing in its people and its restaurants.

As Executive Chef, you won't simply oversee the kitchen—you'll shape its culture, mentor its people, develop its menus, and help define the future of one of Boston's most exciting independent restaurant groups.

What You'll Lead

Direct all culinary operations for a high-volume, chef-driven restaurant
Inspire, mentor, and develop a talented team of chefs, cooks, and kitchen leaders
Create seasonal menus, features, and specialty offerings that balance creativity with profitability
Establish and maintain exceptional standards for food quality, consistency, presentation, and execution
Oversee purchasing, inventory, vendor relationships, and food cost management
Manage labor budgets, scheduling, and staffing while fostering a positive team culture
Lead culinary planning and execution for private events, large-scale functions, and specialty dinners
Maintain best-in-class sanitation, food safety, and health department compliance
Identify opportunities to improve systems, workflow, efficiency, and kitchen organization
Collaborate closely with ownership and restaurant leadership on operational initiatives and long-term growth
Support culinary development and leadership across additional Aldi Companies concepts as the restaurant group continues to grow

Who You Are

You are a confident and collaborative leader who believes great restaurants are built by great teams. You lead with professionalism, humility, and accountability while maintaining high standards and creating an environment where people enjoy coming to work. You understand that creativity and consistency go hand in hand, and you take pride in delivering an exceptional guest experience every single day.

Qualifications

Five or more years of Executive Chef or senior culinary leadership experience
Proven success leading high-volume kitchens
Strong background in modern American cuisine, seafood, and scratch cooking
Demonstrated ability to recruit, mentor, and retain talented culinary teams
Experience managing food cost, labor, purchasing, inventory, and kitchen financial performance
Strong organizational and communication skills
Excellent understanding of food safety, sanitation, and kitchen operations
ServSafe Certification (or ability to obtain immediately)

What We Offer

Competitive salary: $80,000–$110,000, based on experience
Health insurance contribution
Paid vacation and earned sick time
Dining discounts throughout the Aldi Companies restaurant group
Significant creative input on menu development and culinary direction
Long-term advancement opportunities within a growing hospitality company
A collaborative ownership team that values innovation, quality, and professional growth

About Dryft Revere

Situated directly on historic Revere Beach just minutes from downtown Boston, Dryft Revere offers panoramic ocean views, elevated coastal cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and warm, genuine hospitality. We pride ourselves on creating unforgettable guest experiences while fostering a culture built on teamwork, respect, creativity, and excellence.

As part of the Aldi Companies restaurant group, our commitment is simple: build exceptional restaurants by investing in exceptional people.

If you're ready to lead an ambitious culinary team and help shape the future of one of Greater Boston's premier dining destinations, we'd love to hear from you.
