Job Description

Executive Chef
Independent Lifestyle Hotel | Midwest | $120K–$130K + 30% Incentive 
Design-led hotel. Local-sustainably focused. Backed by ownership committed to the culinary program.

We’re building the culinary identity of a high-profile, independent property coming out of a major reinvestment. The kitchen is dialed, the concept has traction, and this role owns the next chapter, restaurant, bar, and events. Includes a destination restaurant doing up to $10M annually.

This is not a maintenance role. It’s for a chef who wants to shape something, not inherit something.

What stands out

Recently renovated, high-functioning kitchen 

Operator mindset expected, creativity without losing the numbers 

Collaborative environment with strong FOH and beverage leadership 

Culture-first team, no tolerance for ego-driven kitchens
