Job Description

Description:

Are you a culinary professional looking for more work-life balance and career growth than a typical sous chef or line cook position can offer? This full-time personal chef position is Monday through Friday, 8am–6pm, giving you evenings and weekends FREE.

In this role, you’ll work as a personal chef for 8–9 clients per week—handling weekly grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, and kitchen clean-up. You’ll have the chance to showcase your creativity in a variety of cuisines while building relationships with clients who appreciate your culinary expertise.

Beyond weekly meal prep, our chefs also:

  1. Host intimate private dining events and dinner parties
  2. Teach cooking classes as a culinary instructor
  3. Lead corporate team-building cooking workshops
  4. Support special projects such as menu design and event catering

What Makes This Role Different from Restaurant Kitchen Jobs?

Unlike traditional restaurant sous chef or line cook jobs, this position offers:

  1. Consistent, predictable Monday–Friday hours (no REGULAR late nights or weekends)
  2. Direct client interaction and creative menu freedom
  3. Opportunities to grow beyond the kitchen into events, education, and leadership

Why Work With Us?

We invest in our chefs through hands-on training, mentorship, and career development programs. If you’re someone who enjoys taking initiative, building relationships, and driving growth, this role offers virtually unlimited potential.

At our company, we reward hard work, creativity, and dedication. You’ll be more than just a line cook or sous chef—you’ll have the opportunity to grow into a private chef, event chef, or culinary leader.

Pay : $27 - 30 per hour

At our company, we value and recognize exceptional performance and dedication. As a testament to our commitment to employee growth and satisfaction, we offer a clear pathway to financial advancement. As a candidate, you can expect the opportunity for a well-deserved raise at the 1 year mark, contingent upon favorable performance evaluations.
