Chef / Kitchen Manager

If you are an accomplished Chef / Kitchen Manager looking to join a highly-popular, family-owned, upscale restaurant AND live in one of most beautiful northern Michigan towns, this may be the opportunity you've been looking for.

We are looking for a talented Chef / Kitchen manager to take the helm of a year-round restaurant in the Caseville / Port Austin area. Situated in a highly-desirable location, this restaurant is very busy in the spring/summer/fall and goes down to reduced hours in the winter time. The restaurant has a casual/upscale feel and offers an elevated menu; not your typical burger-and-beer place.

If you're interested, here's what it's all about. We are searching for a Chef / Kitchen Manager with high-volume experience in an upscale establishment. We're not looking to change the menu, but the Chef will have some freedom to create weekly specials, soups, desserts, etc. We are looking for a Chef who enjoys leading by example, training culinary staff, and someone who can stay cool under pressure - no Gordon Ramsay types here. While there are some administrative responsibilities, things like budgeting, P&L management, scheduling, ordering, etc. are all handled by the owners, freeing you up to run the back of house operations. If you don't already live in the Thumb area, housing is available for a reduced rent.

Ideal candidates will have:

High-volume, scratch Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or Executive Chef experience

ServSafe Certification

Experience training culinary staff

Friendly personality

Desire to live and work in a beautiful resort town!

Benefits:

Competitive base salary

Performance based bonus

Health / dental insurance

If that sounds like you, we want to talk to you. Apply now for consideration!
