Are you an Executive Chef who thrives in a chef-driven environment where quality, creativity, and hospitality come first? We are representing a highly regarded upscale restaurant in Savannah that is seeking a talented culinary leader to oversee kitchen operations, mentor a strong team, and continue elevating an already successful dining experience.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a chef who values work-life balance, a supportive ownership team, and the ability to make a meaningful impact without sacrificing personal time.
What You'll Do
- Lead all back-of-house operations, including culinary execution, staffing, scheduling, and training
- Maintain exceptional food quality, consistency, and presentation standards
- Manage food and labor costs while driving operational efficiency
- Collaborate on seasonal menu development and culinary innovation
- Build, mentor, and retain a high-performing kitchen team
- Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and sanitation standards
- Foster a positive culture focused on teamwork, accountability, and excellence
What We're Looking For
- Proven Executive Chef experience in an upscale, chef-driven, or fine dining environment
- Strong leadership and team development skills
- Financial acumen with experience managing food and labor costs
- Passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences
- Hands-on leadership style with a commitment to quality and consistency
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $90,000 – $95,000
- Attainable Bonus: $10,000 – $15,000 annually
- 10 Days PTO after 90 days
- 5 Sick Days
- Competitive Healthcare Package with Company Contribution
- $900 Monthly Meal Allowance
Quality of Life
This is a rare opportunity to join a successful dinner-only operation that values balance as much as excellence. Enjoy a consistent five-day workweek with every Sunday and Monday off, allowing you to maintain a rewarding career while still having time for family, friends, and personal pursuits.
If you're looking for a long-term home with a respected restaurant group that appreciates great leadership and great food, we'd love to speak with you.
