This is a remote position.
Job Description
We need someone who can diagnose an entire culinary system, fix urgent product and quality problems fast, and then build the systems — recipes, specs, training, food safety — that let quality survive growth and turnover across multiple locations.
This is a fully remote role. A dedicated on-site Head Chef already handles floor-level kitchen execution — your focus is on the systems, standards, and leadership that keep quality consistent across every location, not day-to-day kitchen presence.
What You'll Own
-
Assess the current state of products, menus, recipes, and suppliers using data, reports, and remote evidence review
-
Diagnose and direct fixes for taste, consistency, and food-safety failures — working through the on-site Head Chef and location teams
-
Build controlled recipes and process standards with clear tolerances and version control
-
Lead menu engineering — fix, reposition, or cut underperforming products
-
Establish food-safety and traceability controls, with root-cause analysis on failures
-
Recruit, train, and develop culinary leaders across locations remotely
-
Own the culinary drivers of food cost, waste, and margin
Requirements
What We're Looking For
-
Significant senior culinary leadership in a complex, multi-location environment
-
Proven ability to restore product quality and build repeatable systems — not just cook well
-
Comfortable leading and directing kitchen execution remotely, through on-site leads
-
Strong understanding of food cost, yield, and labor economics
-
Food safety and quality assurance experience
-
Advanced, practical use of AI and data tools for culinary management
Bonus Points
-
Experience managing across multiple concepts, cuisines, or dayparts
-
Experience directing culinary teams remotely or across distributed locations
-
Beverage operations or dining service experience
-
Track record building training and succession pipelines for culinary teams
You'll Thrive Here If You...
-
Believe quality should survive turnover, distance, and growth — not depend on one person's memory
-
Can lead and influence kitchen teams effectively without being physically present
-
Balance exacting culinary standards with real commercial judgment
-
Want to build systems, not just run a kitchen
