Job Description
I work with growing restaurant groups here in San Diego. You are welcome to check out the list on my website, www.realrestaurantsolutions.com. Since we are growing, we need strong leaders. There is a common trait amongst managers that grow and get promoted. They can rally a crew. They understand the basic fundamentals of proper service and the proper way to do things. They work hard and are dedicated to their craft. They are kind but clear and serious about the expectations they set.
Currently I'm in search of a Regional Chef for Small Restaurant Group .
We are looking for someone that can passionately and positively lead and develop a culinary team while elevating the technique and the presentations to established operations. We have ambitious and demanding goals but provide an inspiring and supportive workplace, taking time to establish you with the tools to be successful in this current role and eventually, your future dreams. Here, you'll make more of an impact exercising your judgment and taking an ownership mentality. If you dream of having your own restaurant or bar one day, the owner will work directly with you on a weekly basis and show you the systems required to run and own your own place.
