We’re on the lookout for a passionate and experienced Head Chef to help shape our kitchen and guide the opening of this new neighbourhood spot.
The Role
As Head Chef, you’ll play a central role in building a skilled culinary team, shaping our menus, and setting the tone for a dynamic, inclusive kitchen. Working closely with ownership, you’ll bring strong leadership, creativity, and a deep respect for ingredients and technique. You’ll also help shape our identity through thoughtful execution, mentorship, and operational excellence.

- Passionate about Italian food and technique (direct experience is a strong asset)
- Confident in leading a team and maintaining a positive kitchen culture
- Skilled in managing costs, scheduling, ordering, and hitting financial targets
- Calm under pressure and solutions-oriented in a busy service setting
- Food Safe Level 1 required; Red Seal or formal culinary education is a plus
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $75,000-$95,000 annually
- Bonus: Up to 20% performance-based bonus, paid quarterly
- Health Benefits: Extended medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Growth Opportunities: Help open a new restaurant and grow with our community-focused hospitality group
