WHO YOU ARE:

You’re an experienced Executive Chef with a highly developed sense of customer service, great interpersonal/communication skills, and a high-level of profit and loss capability. You take accountability for your team (like any great leader) and your organizational skills are second to none. Our centers are fast-paced, high-volume retail environments that are as demanding to work in as they are rewarding. You’ll be leading a team of lead cooks, cooks, dishwashers, and servers, and will report to and support your center’s General Manager on all matters food-related.
