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

Benefits

Benefits

• HMO (health insurance)

• Paid time off (PTO)

• Work from anywhere

• Opportunities for promotion

• Pay raise
