Job Description

A modern, chef-driven restaurant in the heart of Nashville is seeking an experienced and passionate Executive Chef to lead a high-volume, upscale kitchen known for its focus on quality, creativity, and community.

 

This is your chance to make your mark in one of Music City’s most exciting dining destinations—where elevated steakhouse classics meet local farm-fresh ingredients.

 

You’re not just running a kitchen — you’re leading a movement. As our Executive Chef, you’ll be the creative force behind a scratch kitchen that celebrates local sourcing, craftsmanship, and hospitality. You’ll inspire your team, set the standard for excellence, and craft dishes that leave a lasting impression.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead by Example: Be present on the line, coaching and developing your team through collaboration and creativity.
  • Elevate Every Plate: Source the highest-quality ingredients and design menus that surprise and delight.
  • Drive Results: Manage budgets, labor, and operations with precision to meet and exceed financial goals.
  • Create a Culture: Foster positivity, teamwork, and growth within the kitchen and across departments.
  • Engage the Community: Build relationships with local purveyors and farmers to keep the menu fresh and authentic.

 

Who You Are

  • 6+ years of culinary leadership experience in upscale, high-volume restaurants.
  • Hands-on and humble — you lead from the kitchen, not from an office.
  • Experienced with steakhouse or fine-dining cuisine, but open to innovation.
  • Passionate about mentoring your team and delivering memorable guest experiences.
  • Driven by quality, consistency, and hospitality in every detail.

 

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive Pay: $90,000–$95,000 base + quarterly performance bonus
  • Health & Wellness: Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Financial Planning: 401(k) with 50% match on your first 6%
  • Home Loan Program: Zero-interest housing loan assistance
  • Family Time: 4 weeks paid maternity/paternity leave
  • Perks: Dining and hotel discounts across a growing hospitality portfolio
  • PTO: Paid time off after 90 days

 

Your Next Chapter Starts Here

If you’re ready to take the lead in a kitchen that values creativity, teamwork, and excellence — this is your moment to shine.

 

Apply today and bring your culinary vision to life in Nashville.
