Job Description

WHAT’S THE ROLE?

Great Food Doesn't Happen By Accident.

It happens when an experienced culinary leader sets the standard.

At Dexterra Signature Dining, we create exceptional customer experiences through food, hospitality and service. Great food brings people together, and we give our culinary teams the opportunity to take pride in what they create and ownership of the operations they lead.

With new business opportunities coming to GTA West, from Toronto to Mississauga, we're looking for hands-on Chef Managers who bring more than culinary expertise. We're looking for people with the right attitude, the motivation to make an impact and the drive to take ownership of their operation.

As a Chef Manager, you'll lead the culinary experience and performance of your operation, balancing time in the kitchen with developing your team, engaging with customers and managing the business behind the food.

Lead a Quality-Driven Food Program

  • Deliver consistently exceptional food quality, presentation and service.
  • Stay hands-on in the kitchen, preparing fresh, scratch-made food and leading by example.
  • Lead menu execution, daily features, catering and special events.
  • Bring creativity to menu planning and keep the food program fresh and engaging.
  • Maintain high standards of food safety, production, cleanliness and kitchen organization.
  • Ensure recipes, portioning and culinary standards are executed consistently.

Lead and Develop Your Team

  • Coach, mentor and develop a team of culinary and service professionals.
  • Create a positive, accountable and customer-focused workplace culture.
  • Set clear expectations and lead from the front, particularly during busy service periods.
  • Build a team that takes pride in the food they serve and the experience they create.

Take Ownership of the Operation

  • Identify what needs attention, take initiative and follow through.
  • Build strong relationships with clients and customers and maintain a visible presence in the operation.
  • Use feedback to continuously improve the food program and customer experience.
  • Manage food costs, labour, purchasing and inventory while maintaining quality and service.
  • Use effective scheduling, portion control, recipe costing and waste reduction to drive operational performance.
  • Manage key administrative requirements, including scheduling, payroll, budgeting and invoices.
  • Support new account openings and help establish strong culinary standards, routines and team culture from day one.

Qualifications

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for culinary leaders who take pride in their work and genuinely want responsibility for their operation. You notice what needs to be done and act on it. You enjoy being part of the kitchen, developing your people and building relationships with the customers and clients you serve.

  • A Great Attitude!
  • 5+ years of progressive culinary experience in food service, hospitality, restaurants, hotels or a comparable environment, leading a kitchen or culinary team as a Chef, Chef Manager, Exec Chef or similar culinary leader.
  • Strong hands-on culinary skills and a passion for preparing fresh, scratch-made food.
  • A positive, motivated approach with the initiative to take ownership and accountability for results.
  • Experience coaching and developing employees while setting clear expectations.
  • A customer-focused mindset and the ability to build strong client relationships.
  • Experience with menu planning, recipe development, food production and catering.
  • Knowledge of food safety, purchasing, inventory, food and labour cost management and waste control.
  • The ability to balance hands-on culinary leadership with the operational and administrative responsibilities of running the business.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, POS systems and other operational management systems.
  • Red Seal certification or professional culinary training is considered an asset.
  • Flexibility to work at locations across Toronto and Mississauga as new opportunities become available.

Ready to bring your culinary skills, leadership and sense of ownership to an operation you can be proud of?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
