Job description

Role Overview

The Good Eating Company was cooked up in London in 1999 around the kitchen table, over several bottles of Ribera del Duero. We had the dream of bringing restaurant-quality food to onsite dining – at a time when uninspiring sandwiches and soggy salads were typically on offer. We're passionate about delectable, fresh food. We take pride in crafting imaginative and well-balanced dishes daily, with a straightforward philosophy: collaborating with forward-thinking organizations that value their members and seek exceptional, creative dining experiences.

The food we make shapes our culture, builds our communities, and connects us all. We want to inspire the best shared food experiences through innovative, sustainable solutions.

Step into our culture

Where a fun and playful atmosphere meets unquenchable culinary curiosity, and our team growth thrives on a "win or learn" mentality. Here, a kindness-first approach takes center stage, creating warm and welcoming kitchens.

The Good Eating Company is seeking a creative, open-minded Executive Chef for our business dining client in Mountain View, California. We are hiring for a Chef who can provide an exceptional experience and lead our team with kindness and culinary drive.
