Executive Chef

Virginia Beach, VA

$100,000 – $105,000 Base Salary + Up to 20% Bonus + Comprehensive Benefits + 401(k)

I'm currently partnering with one of the most respected and fastest-growing hospitality groups in the country to identify an exceptional Executive Chef for a flagship restaurant in Virginia Beach.

This is not a role for someone who simply manages a kitchen. My client is seeking a culinary leader who can inspire teams, drive operational excellence, and maintain the high standards that have helped make this organization an industry leader.

If you're an Executive Chef or a strong Executive Sous Chef ready for your next challenge, this opportunity offers the chance to join a company known for its people-first culture, beautiful restaurant concepts, and commitment to culinary excellence.

What You'll Do

  • Lead all back-of-house operations for a high-volume, chef-driven restaurant
  • Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing culinary team
  • Drive food quality, consistency, and execution at every service
  • Manage food cost, labor cost, purchasing, and inventory controls
  • Partner with restaurant leadership to achieve operational and financial goals
  • Maintain exceptional standards for cleanliness, food safety, and guest satisfaction
  • Foster a positive culture focused on accountability, development, and teamwork

What We're Looking For

  • Executive Chef experience in a high-volume, upscale casual or polished casual environment
  • Strong financial acumen with proven success managing food and labor costs
  • Passion for coaching, developing, and retaining culinary talent
  • Hands-on leadership style with a commitment to excellence
  • Stable career progression and a track record of success

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $100,000 – $105,000
  • Bonus Potential: Up to 20%
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits
  • 401(k) Program
  • Paid Time Off
  • Growth opportunities with a nationally recognized hospitality company

This is a confidential search. If you're interested in learning more about the opportunity, I'd welcome the chance to speak with you.
