Job description

Great food at scale is an operations job as much as a cooking job.

I'm recruiting an Executive Sous Chef in Brisbane, CA, paying $70,000-$105k, for a business where quality, timing and consistency all matter every day.

You'll support the Executive Chef, lead a sizeable culinary team and take ownership across production, food safety, labor, inventory, suppliers, budgets and menu launches.

This will suit somebody who can move comfortably between the pass, a production plan, a tasting and a cost conversation.

I'm interested in chefs with:

• Five-plus years in high-volume food production
• Strong leadership across multiple kitchen functions
• Excellent HACCP and food-safety knowledge
• Evidence of improving SOPs, productivity and cost control
• International-cuisine knowledge and strong presentation standards

Luxury or Michelin experience is useful when it comes with genuine scale, systems and team leadership.

Healthcare benefits, 401(k) eligibility and shift meals are included. Candidates must already have US work authorization without sponsorship.
