Full Job Description

CHEF-OPERATOR — LOUIE'S

Full-time · Tampa Bay · $55K–$60K + Performance Bonus

LOUIE'S is a new modern Mediterranean kitchen — a distinct concept built for the next generation of fast-casual dining. Fresh, from-scratch cooking. Chargrilled souvlaki, house-made spreads, seasonal salads and bowls. Built to grow across Tampa Bay. We're not looking for a general manager. We're looking for the person who thinks like a chef but runs like an operator — the one who tastes every batch, trains every new hire, hits the numbers, and treats the store like their own kitchen.

What you'll do

Execute the food at the highest level. Prep quality, portion consistency, ingredient standards — every plate is your name on it
Lead the line. Train the team on souvlaki, spreads, salads, bowls — and hold them to the standard
Run the store. Labor, ordering, waste, guest experience, opens and closes — it's your kitchen and your dining room
Build the team. Hire, train, coach, and grow the crew that grows with you
Contribute to the menu. As our first operator, your feedback on execution, seasonality, and guest response shapes how the concept evolves
Hit the numbers. Food cost, labor cost, guest scores — you're accountable, and you're rewarded

Who you are

A sous chef, chef de cuisine, or kitchen manager ready for your first full ownership role with strong opportunity for growth
Obsessive about ingredient quality and prep discipline
Someone who can taste when something's off and coach a line cook to fix it
A trainer who develops people — not a boss who just fills the schedule
Comfortable running a real P&L, not just a kitchen
Excited about Mediterranean food and the discipline of fast-casual execution

Why LOUIE'S

Ground-floor opportunity. You're not stepping into an established chain — you're the first operator of a concept built to scale
Clear growth path. The right person grows with LOUIE'S — into Director of Operations, Area Director, or Head of Food as we open additional locations
Real influence. You won't set the menu, but your execution shapes the standard every future location follows
Base $55K–$60K plus performance bonuses tied to food cost, labor, and guest satisfaction
9pm closes instead of midnight — no fine-dining burnout hours
Family-run. Not corporate. You'll know the owners by name

To apply: Send your resume and a short note about a kitchen you helped build to [email protected]

Pay: $55,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Employee discount
Health insurance
Paid time off
Professional development assistance
Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Walk me through the last time you tasted something on the line that wasn't right — how did you catch it, what did you do about it in the moment, and how did you make sure it didn't happen again?
Tell me about someone you trained who wasn't performing at the level you needed. What was the gap, what did you specifically do to close it, and what happened to that person?
Where do you want to be in three years, and what specifically about this role gets you closer to that?
What questions do you have for us?

Restaurant Operator: 1 year (Preferred)
