Job description

Experienced Chef/Kitchen Manager – Full-Time | Emerald Park, SK |

Farmer John’s Local Market & Kitchen is a community-focused market, café, and kitchen rooted in Saskatchewan values. We’re a gathering place where local food, local makers, and local people come together.

We support 100+ Saskatchewan producers, farmers, bakers, and artisans, and we pride ourselves on offering food that feels honest, comforting, and thoughtfully made — the kind of food you’d be proud to serve your own family.

Farmer John’s is not a traditional restaurant. We are a hybrid food business that blends:

• A local grocery market
• A busy coffee bar
• Catering and prepared meals
• Seasonal features and community fundraisers

Our kitchen is the heart of it all.

We’re seeking a passionate, creative chef to lead our kitchen team and elevate the food experience for the Regina & area community. If you cook with heart, thrive in a busy kitchen, and want to help shape menu direction — we want YOU!

As our Chef/Kitchen Manager, you will:

• Lead kitchen operations with consistency and hospitality
• Develop seasonal menus & daily specials
• Control food costs & inventory
• Maintain the highest standards of food safety

What You Bring

• ✔ 3+ years culinary experience
• ✔ Strong leadership skills
• ✔ Food safety certification (or willingness to obtain)

What We Offer

• Competitive salary / hourly + performance bonus
• Supportive team environment
