Head Chef

Cutwater Brewing, Lake Country

Cutwater is a lakeside brewery and restaurant built around great beer, honest food, and a relaxed but disciplined hospitality culture. Our kitchen and brewery are meant to work together, each making the other better.

We're looking for a Head Chef who genuinely loves food, thrives on organization, and is excited by the creative intersection of craft beer and cuisine. This role is for someone who understands that great kitchens run with clarity, preparation, and steady leadership, and who sees beer as an ingredient, not just a pairing.

This Role Is for You If…

  • You're deeply passionate about food and ingredients
  • You're highly organized and systems-minded
  • You enjoy building structure and rhythm in a kitchen
  • You love training, mentoring, and developing cooks
  • You're curious about using beer thoughtfully in food, sauces, brines, reductions, and features
  • You care about consistency, waste control, and execution
  • You value a kitchen that feels focused, prepared, and professional
  • You'd happily share a beer with your team after a strong service

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Menu development, execution, and ongoing refinement
  • Collaborating with the brewery to align food and beer offerings
  • Developing creative, seasonally appropriate ways to integrate beer into the menu
  • Designing prep routines that are efficient, repeatable, and sustainable
  • Leading kitchen hiring, onboarding, and training
  • Creating and maintaining recipes, prep charts, and order guides
  • Managing food costs, portion control, and waste
  • Overseeing supplier relationships and accurate ordering
  • Maintaining equipment, storage, cleanliness, and food safety standards
  • Scheduling and labor planning that supports performance and morale
  • Working closely with the GM to align kitchen flow and service standards

What You'll Own

  • Kitchen culture, standards, and accountability
  • Food quality, consistency, and speed of execution
  • Training systems and team development
  • Prep productivity, waste control, and cost discipline
  • Organization of coolers, storage areas, and receiving
  • The culinary voice that complements Cutwater's beer program

Experience We're Looking For

  • Senior kitchen leadership experience required
  • Proven ability to build and retain strong kitchen teams
  • Strong organizational and operational skills
  • Experience with menu costing, ordering, and waste management
  • Interest or experience working alongside a brewery is a strong asset

Why Cutwater

Cutwater values leadership, clarity, and pride in the craft. This is a role for a Head Chef who enjoys collaboration, experimentation, and building a kitchen that supports and elevates the beer program.

If you believe the best food programs are built through discipline, creativity, and strong partnerships, this kitchen will feel like home.
