Executive Chef | The Clifton

Downtown Plainfield, IL

The Clifton is looking for a talented, hands-on Executive Chef to lead our kitchen and help shape the next chapter of our restaurant.

Located in the heart of downtown Plainfield, The Clifton is a locally loved restaurant known for vibrant energy, warm hospitality, wood-fired cooking, creative food and cocktails, and a strong reputation within the community.

This is a hands-on leadership position. We’re looking for a chef who genuinely enjoys being in the kitchen, working alongside the team, and leading by example.

The Opportunity

You’ll lead an established kitchen team of approximately 11–13 cooks while having the freedom to bring your own creativity and ideas to the menu.

Our chef will have the opportunity to work with premium ingredients from trusted purveyors, develop new dishes, refine existing favorites, and continue building on what has made The Clifton successful.

As our restaurant group continues to grow, there is also meaningful opportunity for the right person to grow with us.

Responsibilities

Lead the kitchen and set the standard for food quality and consistency
Work hands-on with the team, including regular time cooking and leading on the line
Develop new menu items and seasonal features
Manage ordering, inventory and vendor relationships
Maintain food-cost and labor-cost targets
Create kitchen schedules
Hire, train, develop and retain kitchen staff
Oversee prep systems, organization and kitchen execution
Maintain high standards for cleanliness, food safety and kitchen operations
Build a positive, accountable kitchen culture

Who We’re Looking For

2+ years in a culinary leadership role such as Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef or equivalent kitchen management
Proven ability to lead and develop a kitchen team
Strong understanding of food cost, labor management, inventory and purchasing
Organized, dependable and comfortable in a fast-paced restaurant
Creative and passionate about developing great food
A leader who communicates well and earns the respect of their team

Compensation & Benefits

Up to $75,000 annual compensation, including performance-based bonuses tied to food and labor cost goals.

Paid time off and dining benefits.

Why The Clifton?

We’re an independent restaurant with an established reputation, a loyal local following and a great location surrounded by a wonderful community of like-minded downtown businesses.

You’ll have the resources and ingredients to be creative, the autonomy to put your stamp on the food, and an ownership group that wants to see its chef succeed.

We’re looking for someone who wants to take ownership of a kitchen, lead from the front, and build something they’re proud of.

Pay: $70,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year
