Full Job Description

Executive Chef (Del Pez Mexican Gastropub)

Full-Time | Leadership Role | High-Impact Culinary Position

Compensation: $85,000 – $97,000 + Bonus

Del Pez Mexican Gastropub is looking for an Executive Chef who is ready for more than “running a kitchen.” This role is designed for a culinary leader who thrives on building teams, developing future leaders, and bringing energy, creativity, and consistency to a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

This position is the next step up from Head Chef and a key part of our long-term leadership pipeline — with real growth potential into Culinary Director within the Del Pez brand for the right person.

About Del Pez

Del Pez is a modern Mexican gastropub built on bold flavors, consistent execution, and an energetic guest experience. We operate in a high-volume environment where standards matter — from scratch-driven prep, to clean plating, to disciplined line execution. Our goal is simple: food that’s craveable, consistent, and worthy of repeat visits — every occasion, every day!

Why This Role is Different

This isn’t a job for someone who simply wants to “manage the line.” We’re looking for a leader who:

Loves coaching and developing people
Has a strong work ethic and personal accountability
Is passionate about culinary execution + menu development
Brings positive energy and thrives in a “lead from the front” culture
Wants to grow into a brand-level culinary leadership career

What You’ll Do

As the Executive Chef, you will run the kitchen operations at one Del Pez location, leading through your Sous Chef and hourly kitchen leaders, while partnering with our Culinary Director to evolve and strengthen the Del Pez culinary brand.

Core Responsibilities

Lead day-to-day kitchen operations including quality, execution, cleanliness, and standards
Recruit, train, coach, and retain top culinary talent
Develop leaders — building a pipeline of future Sous Chefs, Head Chefs, and Executive Chefs
Drive consistency through training, communication, and structured accountability
Own seasonal features, recipe testing, and execution training to ensure menu rollouts are successful and consistent
Partner with the Culinary Director to drive recipe development, plating standards, prep systems, and menu innovation
Maintain high standards of sanitation, food safety, and kitchen organization
Monitor and manage performance factors such as food cost and operational efficiency
Uphold professionalism, teamwork, and a productive kitchen culture at all times

What Success Looks Like in Your First 90 Days

In your first 90 days, you will:

Establish consistency in execution, cleanliness, and shift-to-shift standards
Stabilize BOH staffing and strengthen the performance and professionalism of the kitchen team
Improve and update training, accountability, and communication systems for long-term consistency
Begin collaboration with the Culinary Director on menu features, refinements, and structured rollout execution

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a strong operator — but more importantly, a true leader.

You’ll love this role if you…

Take pride in being hands-on and setting the pace
Get real satisfaction from developing others and building strong teams
Are excited by food, culinary creativity, and teaching proper execution
Have high personal standards and expect the same from your team
Enjoy structure and follow-through (organized, consistent, accountable)
Want long-term career growth with an expanding restaurant group

Qualifications

5+ years of progressive kitchen leadership experience (high volume preferred)
Demonstrated success developing culinary teams and kitchen leadership talent
Strong culinary fundamentals and the ability to coach execution at every level
Experience with ordering, inventory, sanitation standards, and kitchen systems
Confidence leading under pressure — calm, professional, and accountable

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $87,000 – $97,000 + Bonus

We offer a leadership-focused environment and competitive benefits, including:

Insurance options (medical/dental/vision)
PTO
401(k)
Management dining program
Strong internal career development and upward mobility

Non-Negotiables

This role requires a leader who is present, consistent, and holds high standards every day. If you’re looking for a role with low accountability or limited hands-on leadership, this will not be the right fit.

Ready to Lead at a Higher Level?

If you’re looking for a role where you can run a kitchen, develop people, help shape a brand, and build a long-term career — we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and take the next step in your culinary leadership journey with Del Pez.

Pay: $85,000.00 - $97,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Paid time off
