HEAD CHEF – HONEST GREENS
We are Honest Greens 🌱, an innovative, passionate, and rapidly expanding restaurant lifestyle brand with one mission: improve society through real food. We do things differently in our industry, embracing — and creating — new restaurant trends and technologies that allow us to make healthy food affordable, convenient, and incredibly delicious. We believe this will help people in our communities live longer, happier, and more sustainable lives.
Over the coming years, we will be scaling our restaurant, geographical, and digital footprint to ensure our customers can interact with our brand wherever they are. This is an amazing opportunity to join our journey as we build our product and scale globally.
We are looking for a highly motivated, hands-on HEAD CHEF to lead the kitchen operations of one of our restaurants. The ideal candidate is a passionate culinarian and natural leader, with a proven track record in high-volume kitchens. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, service-driven environment where no two days are the same — and you’ll play a key role in ensuring that our food is consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, while inspiring and developing the kitchen team.
Your day-to-day will include…
- Overseeing food preparation, storage, FIFO, recipes, and plating standards, while acting as the final quality gate at the pass.
- Planning and overseeing ingredient and material orders based on restaurant needs, reporting shortages or urgent requests to the Area Manager or purchasing team.
- Checking deliveries, verifying invoices, and ensuring products are correctly labeled and stored upon receipt, ensuring efficiency and minimal waste.
- Controlling food and personnel costs, and kitchen productivity, ensuring operational and financial efficiency.
- Managing kitchen schedules, vacations, permissions, ensuring adequate staffing and smooth shift transitions.
- Organizing daily and weekly cleaning routines, ensuring the kitchen and storage areas are always in compliance with health, safety, and sanitation standards.
- Using company tools for communication, reporting, and organizational tasks during shifts.
- Handling staff administration processes: hiring, onboarding, contract signing, uniform distribution, training, and performance follow-up (regular 1:1 feedback sessions).
- Providing hands-on coaching that is clear, aligned with Honest Green’s values, and focused on elevating operational excellence and individual performance.
