Description:

Corporate R&D Chef — Multi-Concept Culinary Leader

What You’ll Do

We’re on the hunt for a culinary rockstar — a Corporate Chef who can craft mouthwatering menus, keep costs in check, and lead teams to greatness across multiple cuisines. Yes, we’re proud of our BBQ roots — but we want you to flex your creativity across burgers, brunch, shakes, and whatever crave-worthy menu and concept we dream up together.

This is your chance to shape the flavors and experiences that keep guests raving and coming back for more!

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)

Flavor Mastermind

• Keep our BBQ legendary, but don’t stop there — build killer burger menus, over-the-top shakes, and brunch dishes that turn slow weekends into packed houses.
• Cook up bold seasonal specials and limited time offers that create buzz and boost sales.
• Lead the charge on new concept development — from the first idea scribbled on a napkin to the first happy guest bite.

Profit Pro & Quality Boss

• Cost every recipe as a pro to protect margins and wow guests at the same time.
• Work your magic with our supply chain and purchasing department to get the best ingredients for the best price.
• Create crystal-clear prep guides so every cook knows exactly how to nail every dish, every time.
• Keep an eye on food costs and sales data — tweak, test, and taste until it’s perfect.

Trainer & Mentor Extraordinaire

• Build fun, hands-on training programs that turn decent cooks into culinary beasts.
• Roll up your sleeves for tastings, demos, and team training when launching new items.
• Help kitchen managers grow into confident leaders and inspire future culinary stars.

Team Player & Brand Cheerleader

• Team up with marketing to make sure our menus sound as good as they taste.
• Support new restaurant openings and make sure every kitchen is set up for success.
• Show off our culinary chops at industry events and brag about what makes us awesome.

What You Bring to the Table

The Must-Haves

• 7–10 years working in busy kitchens.
• A mix of BBQ know-how and a passion for developing other cuisines — you name it!
• Strong background in menu costing, inventory management, and food cost control.

Your Secret Weapons

• You’re a recipe wizard who loves balancing bold flavors with smart margins.
• You’re obsessed with consistency — every dish, every time.
• You actually like spreadsheets (well, the food costing parts anyway).
• You’re ServSafe certified (or ready to get it fast).
• You know your way around kitchen tech and costing tools.

Your Vibe

• You love leading teams, teaching new skills, and watching people succeed.
• You’re great at pumping people up and getting buy-in for new ideas.
• You juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball (or the brisket).
• You thrive on collaboration — from marketing to ops to the front line – using team insights and guest feedback to make it all click.

The Sweet Perks

Your Schedule & Playground

• Monday–Friday, 8–5 (with the occasional evening or weekend event).
• Hit the road to visit restaurants 25–40% of the time (on our dime, of course).
• Test kitchen — because where else can you experiment with new shakes at 10 AM?

Money & Benefits

• Competitive salary matches your skills and hustle.
• Full health, dental, and vision insurance.
• PTO to rest and recharge.
• Employee dining discounts.
• Tons of opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Physical Stuff

• Be ready to stand for long periods, lift up to 50 lbs., and jump between hot kitchens and cold walk-ins — all in a day’s work.
