Full Job Description

Executive Chef

The Mooring

Newport, RI

______________________________

The Mooring | Newport Restaurant Group | 100% Employee-Owned

Running a kitchen is one thing. Running a kitchen where you’re also an owner — where every great dish, every tight labor cost, and every cook you develop directly grows your own stake in the company — that’s something else. We’re looking for an Executive Chef who doesn’t just want to lead a kitchen, but wants to own it. Relocation assistance available for candidates outside the area who qualify.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

We believe the people behind the food should share in the success. Here’s what comes with the role:

Competitive compensation — $105,000–$120,000 annually

Sick, Holiday, and Vacation paid time off

Health & Wellness:

Medical
Dental
Vision
Flexible and Dependent Care spending account options
Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

Financial & Employee Ownership:

100% Company-paid LTD, Life & AD&D Insurance
Generous Company 401k match
Employee Ownership Opportunities

Employee Perks:

NRG Dining Card Program
35% discount when dining in our locations (including food and beverages)
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Employee Discount Programs
Wholesaler Club Reimbursement Program
Tenure Program
Refer a friend, earn a bonus — Referral Bonus Program

Voluntary Benefits:

Telemedicine access

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You’ll have full ownership of the kitchen — the food, the people, and the numbers. Here’s what that looks like:

Set the culinary vision and execute it consistently across every service
Engineer the menu — seasonality, cost-conscious creativity, and scratch cooking that guests come back for
Own your numbers: labor costs, food costs, and budget performance
Hire, train, and develop your kitchen team — and build a culture people want to stay in
Manage performance and hold the team to high standards, fairly and respectfully
Ensure kitchen operations are efficient, safe, and sanitary at all times
Direct the training of chefs, cooks, and kitchen staff to keep skills sharp and standards high

WHO YOU ARE

You’re a chef who leads from the front, takes pride in what comes out of your kitchen, and knows that a great team is as important as a great dish. You bring:

A deep passion for food and the guest experience — it shows in every plate
A collaborative leadership style that builds equitable, respectful kitchen culture
The ability to stay calm and strategic when service gets chaotic
Sharp financial instincts — you know your food cost and you manage to it
Strong communication skills with everyone from line cooks to front-of-house leadership
Flexibility to work days, nights, weekends, and holidays — this is hospitality
Comfort on your feet for extended periods and ability to lift 25–50 lbs

On paper, you bring:

3–5+ years of experience as an Executive Chef in a high-volume establishment
A proven track record of high-quality, scratch cuisine — preferably in high-volume Seafood concepts
Culinary Arts degree preferred — though exceptional experience speaks just as loud
Demonstrated experience with cost controls and kitchen financials

ABOUT THE MOORING AND NEWPORT RESTAURANT GROUP

With a focus on fresh ingredients, The Mooring’s menu features crafted beverages and ‘top-of-the catch’ seafood, perfect for every occasion. Since 1981, guests have enjoyed the panoramic sunsets and nautical views over Narragansett Bay. In the warmer weather, our mahogany planked patio floating over the harbor is the perfect, relaxed atmosphere for outdoor dining.
We believe an unparalleled dining experience includes not only an exceptional meal, but also phenomenal service. At The Mooring, our dedicated team members are employee-owners, meaning our commitment to our guests and to one another is unwavering. We invite you to join us and be part of our brand of hospitality.

The Mooring is proud to be part of the Newport Restaurant Group!

We’re a 100% Employee-Owned Company — which means when you join us, you’re not just taking a job, you’re on a path that could lead to ownership. No catch. We invest in our people, and our people invest their talents right back into the business. We’re proud to be one of the friendliest hospitality teams in New England, and our common goal is simple: make people happy through great food, great locations, and great teamwork.

Ready to lead a kitchen you can be proud of? We’d love to hear from you.
