Full Job Description

About the June

The June is a next-generation hospitality company, community, and private members club, creating an elevated and modern experience of belonging in previously overlooked US markets. Our mission is to create unexpected and exceptional experiences in unique spaces.

The June’s flagship club in Jacksonville, Florida – one of the fastest growing economies in the US – represents the first step in our mission to build membership clubs for cities of the future.

The June is backed by a global team of seasoned hospitality professionals, designers, and operators, and is dedicated to enriching members’ lives through a focus on community, hospitality, design, and memorable experiences.

About the Role

The Head Chef oversees every aspect of daily culinary operations across two kitchens at The June and production for four restaurants. This role is hands-on: you’ll be responsible for implementing kitchen programs, systems, and routines, driving culinary R&D, hiring and training staff, managing inventory, and delivering outstanding service to members, guests and colleagues alike. You’ll also ensure all equipment and facilities are well maintained.

You set the tone for our kitchens, upholding high standards for food, cleanliness, organization, and teamwork. The responsibilities below reflect the nature of this position but may shift as our business grows.

Pre-Opening Responsibilities

Research local suppliers, ingredients, and kitchen layout based on planned menus
Collaborate on menu concept, develop and test dishes, involve beverage consultants, and secure menu approval
Refine recipes and plating, conduct tastings with ownership, finalize menu and set training schedule
Build vendor relationships, set up accounts, cost out dishes, organize inventory, and help hire kitchen staff
Create recipe book, train kitchen team, address operational issues, and support first two weeks of service

Post-Opening Responsibilities

Master all menu items and lead by example
Oversee food cost and management from delivery to dining room
Manage scheduling and labor budgets
Lead a team of 20+ chefs and cooks
Stay organized and adaptable in a fast-moving environment
Ensure the kitchen is always ready for service and food quality remains top-notch
Maintain daily prep and quality standards
Hire, train, teach, and motivate the kitchen team to exceed our standards
Personally own and manage all kitchen checklists (opening, closing, prep, cleaning, etc.)
Oversee equipment and facilities maintenance
Collaborate with leadership on daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasts (revenues and expenses)
Meet or exceed targets for food and labor costs and other operating expenses
Work with property leaders to make sure all food received meets our standards and specs, and is priced right
Support the service team and kitchen colleagues to ensure smooth operations every day

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

The right candidate will quickly absorb our brand and values, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every part of the process. We’re a small, tight-knit team where everyone pitches in and embraces a “can-do” attitude. We’re looking for someone who is upbeat, inclusive, and excited to deliver a great experience—both for our guests and the team.

Able to work independently with minimal direction, exercising sound judgment
Strong communicator with vendors, partners, guests, and teammates
Works well with others and welcomes feedback
Can juggle multiple tasks and projects efficiently
Reliable and punctual
Thrives in a fast-paced environment and manages shifting priorities
