Head Chef - Farm-to-Table Restaurant

Placements24

About the Role

Our client, a celebrated farm-to-table restaurant dedicated to showcasing the finest local produce, is seeking an innovative and passionate Head Chef to lead its culinary team. This is a fully remote role, ideal for a chef who thrives on creativity, sourcing the freshest ingredients, and developing menus that celebrate seasonality and regional flavors. You will be responsible for the entire kitchen operation, from menu conceptualization and execution to staff management, quality control, and upholding the restaurant's commitment to sustainability and excellence. This remote position allows you to collaborate closely with suppliers and the management team virtually, bringing your culinary vision to life from your own professional kitchen setup.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conceptualize, develop, and execute innovative, seasonal menus that highlight farm-fresh ingredients.
  • Lead and manage the kitchen team, including hiring, training, scheduling, and performance evaluation.
  • Establish and maintain high standards of food quality, taste, and presentation.
  • Manage all aspects of kitchen operations, including inventory control, ordering, and waste reduction.
  • Ensure strict adherence to food safety, sanitation, and hygiene regulations (e.g., HACCP).
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with local farmers and suppliers to ensure a consistent supply of fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Control food costs and manage the kitchen budget effectively.
  • Collaborate with management on menu pricing, marketing initiatives, and overall restaurant strategy.
  • Maintain a positive and productive work environment for the kitchen staff.
  • Conduct virtual tastings and quality control checks as needed.

Requirements

  • A minimum of 7 years of progressive culinary experience, with at least 3 years in a Head Chef or Executive Chef role, preferably in a farm-to-table or similar concept restaurant.
  • Demonstrated passion for seasonal cooking and sourcing local ingredients.
  • Proven ability in menu development, kitchen management, and cost control.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and team-building skills, with experience managing remotely.
  • In-depth knowledge of food safety standards and best practices.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to work autonomously.
  • Access to a professional-grade kitchen setup for recipe testing and virtual collaboration.
  • Proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus.
  • A commitment to sustainability and ethical food sourcing.

Benefits

This unique fully remote Head Chef position offers significant creative freedom, the opportunity to shape the culinary identity of a renowned restaurant, and competitive compensation. You will have the autonomy to innovate and lead from anywhere, fostering strong connections with suppliers and contributing to a sustainable food movement.
