· Conduct pre-shift meetings and communicate menu changes, VIPs, dietary restrictions, special requests, reservations, and operational priorities.

· Collaborate closely with front-of-house leadership to maintain service timing, communication, food quality, and guest recovery standards.

· Assist in achieving budgeted food cost and labor goals through disciplined purchasing, production planning, portion control, scheduling, waste reduction, and inventory management.

· Monitor product usage, par levels, quality, receiving, storage, labeling, rotation, and utilization; maintain FIFO standards throughout the kitchen.

· Maintain the highest standards of sanitation, food safety, organization, and equipment care in accordance with company policies and applicable health requirements.

· Respond professionally to guest feedback, allergies, dietary restrictions, and service recovery needs while protecting the integrity of the guest experience.

· Complete schedules, production sheets, temperature logs, waste documentation, inventory counts, and other required administrative responsibilities accurately and on time.

· Identify operational opportunities and communicate challenges early, partnering with culinary and F&B leadership on practical solutions.

· Support an inclusive, respectful, accountable, and high-performing kitchen culture consistent with Denū and Pacific Hospitality Group standards.

Guest Experience & Hospitality

· Support a luxury dining experience consistent with Denū's hospitality philosophy and Forbes-level service expectations.

· Maintain urgency, composure, and attention to detail throughout service without compromising food quality or presentation.

· Engage with guests when appropriate, especially for VIPs, special occasions, dietary accommodation, and service recovery.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

· Minimum 3-5 years of progressive culinary leadership experience, preferably in an upscale, luxury, lifestyle, resort, or high-volume restaurant environment.

· Previous experience as a Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef, Executive Sous Chef, or comparable culinary leadership position strongly preferred.

· Experience with recipe development, menu costing, production planning, and maintaining recipe and plating standards.

· Strong communication, organizational, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

· Ability to collaborate effectively with culinary, restaurant, beverage, banquet, purchasing, and hotel leadership teams.

· Culinary degree or formal culinary training preferred, with equivalent professional experience considered.

· Current food safety certification or ability to obtain required certification.

Physical & Scheduling Requirements
