Head Chef - Bells & Whistles
Full-time
Gooseneck Hospitality
At Bells & Whistles, we're passionate about serving quality comfort food alongside one of Vancouver's best selections of local craft beer. We're looking for a Head Chef who shares that commitment and is excited to lead a kitchen built on consistency, teamwork, and pride in the details.
This is more than a service-focused role. We're looking for a leader who can build a strong kitchen culture, develop their team, and create systems that allow the kitchen to perform at a high level every day.
What You'll Do...
- Lead, coach, and develop a positive, accountable kitchen team.
- Create a culture built on respect, communication, consistency, and teamwork.
- Oversee all day-to-day kitchen operations, including prep, service, ordering, inventory, scheduling, and food costing.
- Ensure every dish leaves the kitchen with consistency, quality, and attention to detail.
- Build systems that keep the kitchen organized, efficient, and prepared for busy services.
- Hire, train, mentor, and support the growth of your team.
- Manage food and labour costs while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
- Maintain high standards for cleanliness, organization, food safety, and equipment care.
- Collaborate closely with the General Manager and Front of House leaders to deliver an exceptional guest experience.
- Contribute to menu features, recipe development, and continuous operational improvements.
What We're Looking For...
- Previous experience leading a high-volume kitchen.
- A strong, supportive leader who leads by example.
- Excellent organizational and communication skills.
- A passion for building great teams as much as great food.
- Experience with ordering, inventory management, scheduling, and food costing.
- Calm under pressure with the ability to prioritize and adapt during busy services.
- Someone who takes ownership, values accountability, and enjoys developing others.
- A commitment to quality, consistency, and continuous improvement.
Why Bells & Whistles...
- Join a restaurant known for genuine hospitality, quality comfort food, and one of Vancouver's strongest local craft beer programs.
- Work alongside a collaborative leadership team that values people, culture, and operational excellence.
- Be empowered to lead your kitchen, develop your team, and make a meaningful impact on the restaurant.
- Competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and the chance to help shape the future of Bells & Whistles.
If you're passionate about leading people, creating exceptional food, and building a kitchen where great teams thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
