Seeking: Solution-Driven Chef de Cuisine to Elevate a Scratch Kitchen

• Location: Savannah, GA

• Property: Boutique Hotel & Restaurant

Are you a solution-driven culinarian who loves the craft of a completely scratch kitchen? Our Executive Chef is looking for a collaborative, high-energy Chef de Cuisine to help lead the vision of making our property the premier eating and drinking destination in the city.

The Mission

Over the last few months, we’ve completely transitioned away from "Cisco boxes" to a 100% scratch operation. Now, we need a strong second-in-command to help build an incubator for culinary talent and train a team that is eager to learn better technique.

What You’ll Do

• Mentor & Train: Elevate the team's technique and instill a culture of culinary education.
• Solve, Don't Complain: We need an independent, solution-driven leader who tackles challenges head-on rather than worrying about little things that are out of our control.
• Roll with the Punches: The hospitality industry is unpredictable; you will need to navigate challenges alongside the Executive Chef and tackle hard tasks without a silver platter.

Who You Are

• Passionate & Visionary: You aren't just looking for a paycheck; you have the dedication to help build something that will be recognized nationally.
• Collaborative: You have a moldable, team-player mentality and a highly collaborative mindset.
• Open to Relocation: Whether you're local or an out-of-towner looking to relocate and develop your career, we want your passion and are open to helping you make the move.

Details

• Salary: $60k – $70k (DOE).
• Requirements: Multi-unit/Hotel experience is not required—we value passion, reliability, and grit over a specific resume type.
