Whitby, Canada Butchie's Restaurant Full time

About the job

Are you a seasoned chef who thrives under pressure, has a love for bold flavours, and knows how to feed a crowd without sacrificing quality? Butchies and Dish Play are on the hunt for a Catering Chef who can lead large-scale, high-volume food production for both on-site and off-site events.

⸻

What You’ll Be Doing:

- Leading the execution of large-scale catering operations—from intimate gatherings to 1000+ person events.
- Developing and scaling recipes that reflect the Butchies brand: bold, comforting, Southern-inspired flavours with finesse.
- Managing kitchen prep for events and ensuring quality and consistency in high-volume output.
- Overseeing on-site and off-site event execution: setting up, cooking, plating, and managing flow under real-time service conditions.
- Working closely with our Executive Chef and Catering Manager to deliver unforgettable food experiences.

⸻

What We’re Looking For:

- Strong fundamentals in cooking—you must know your techniques, have strong knife skills, and understand time, temperature, and balance.
- Proven experience with high-volume prep and execution—we’re talking hundreds, even thousands of portions. This is not a line cook gig.
- Event experience is required—you’ve done weddings, corporate events, festivals, or similar, and you know how to handle the unexpected.
- A cool head under pressure, problem-solving instincts, and a strong work ethic.
- A deep passion for food—you take pride in your work, whether it’s a backyard BBQ or a black-tie dinner.
- A valid driver’s license and access to your own vehicle are required—you’ll be traveling between Butchie's, Dish Play, and various event locations.

⸻

This Role Offers:

- A unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic, growing hospitality brand with a bold reputation and big ambitions.
- A variety of projects—from curated tasting menus to festival-style service lines.
- Competitive compensation based on experience.
- A tight-knit, hardworking, and fun culinary team.

Pay: $20.00-$22.00 per hour

Expected hours: 30 - 44 per week

Additional pay:

- Tips

**Benefits**:

- Casual dress
- Discounted or free food
- On-site parking
