Full Job Description

Executive Chef, Events Culinary Operations
The Hall at Olive + Oak

The Executive Chef, Events Culinary Operations is a senior culinary leadership role responsible for the direction, management, and long-term success of the Events culinary program. This position provides leadership and accountability for team performance, menu development, operational systems, and financial stewardship across O+O Events, private dining operations, and marquee event execution.

The Executive Chef empowers and develops a strong culinary team capable of independently executing smaller events and private dining service while maintaining O+O Hospitality’s standards of excellence, hospitality, creativity, and consistency.

Reporting to Bonnie Moore, this position maintains primary culinary ownership of Events dining rooms, large-scale events, and private dining menus, while collaborating openly within the broader O+O culinary leadership team.

Core Responsibilities & Leadership Scope

Lead, Develop, and Grow the Culinary Team

Provide direct leadership, coaching, accountability, and development for a culinary team that may include Sous Chefs, cooks, and prep staff.
Build a culture of professionalism, communication, mentorship, urgency, and hospitality-driven teamwork.
Develop future culinary leaders through delegation, coaching, training, and performance management.
Create clear expectations around standards, execution, sanitation, teamwork, and guest experience.
Ensure the culinary team is equipped to successfully execute day-to-day events and private dining operations with increasing independence and confidence.
Participate in hiring, onboarding, scheduling oversight, performance conversations, and team development planning.

Own Culinary Direction & Menu Development

Maintain primary ownership of menus for Events dining rooms, private dining programs, weddings, galas, and large-scale catered experiences.
Design menus that balance creativity, operational practicality, guest experience, seasonality, and financial performance.
Collaborate with leadership and accept constructive feedback and menu direction when appropriate.
Encourage thoughtful cross-property culinary collaboration and shared innovation across O+O Hospitality concepts when beneficial.
Continuously refine offerings, systems, and culinary standards to strengthen the Events program.

Drive Financial Accountability & Operational Stewardship

Maintain full ownership and accountability for food cost performance, purchasing practices, inventory systems, ordering accuracy, and waste management.
Develop and maintain efficient systems around prep, pars, ordering, storage, and production planning.
Monitor and manage vendor relationships, product quality, and purchasing decisions with a strong understanding of financial impact.
Partner with leadership to understand labor performance, staffing needs, profitability drivers, and operational opportunities.
Use reporting, forecasting, and operational insight to support financially healthy culinary operations.

Maintain Operational Excellence

Uphold exceptional standards of food quality, presentation, sanitation, organization, and execution across all Events culinary operations.
Build systems and accountability structures that support consistency across varied event styles, service formats, and event sizes.
Oversee execution standards for private dining and event service while allowing appropriate ownership and autonomy within the culinary team.
Troubleshoot operational challenges proactively and communicate effectively across departments.

Provide Visible Leadership for Major Events

Maintain required attendance and active culinary leadership presence at weddings, galas, marquee events, and other large-scale experiences.
Serve as a visible leadership partner during major executions, supporting team performance, enforcing standards, assisting with plating and service execution, and helping teams navigate high-volume or high-complexity environments.
Remain a hands-on culinary leader when needed, while ensuring the role’s primary focus remains leadership, oversight, and strategic direction rather than daily production ownership.

Additional Responsibilities

Operate with and uphold O+O Hospitality’s Core Values in all aspects of leadership and operations.
Maintain the highest standards of food safety, sanitation, and workplace safety.
Collaborate effectively with Events leadership and cross-functional partners to support exceptional guest experiences.
Other duties as assigned.

Two weeks of paid time off after 90 days in full-time role, subsequently renewing with 3 weeks PTO on anniversary of role acceptance.
4 weeks paid parental leave after one year of service
Discounts at all locations within the O+O Hospitality Group
Eligibility to enroll in 401(k) and/or ROTH plans after one year of service
Discounts at all locations within the O+O Hospitality Group
Positive & Professional Work Environment
Community Events & Volunteer Opportunities
