The Mission As the Chef for
Inspiration Brewing Company's
second location, you are responsible for the heart of the house. You will lead a team to deliver consistent, high-quality "Irish Pub Fare" that complements our craft beer lineup. You are an expert in kitchen efficiency, food safety, and labor management, working hand-in-hand with the GM to ensure a seamless guest experience. Core Responsibilities1. Culinary Execution & Quality Control Consistency:
Ensure every dish leaving the window meets Inspiration Brewing's standards for taste, temperature, and presentation. Menu Management:
Execute the core menu and develop "Weekly Features" (Irish specialties) that drive repeat business. Health & Safety:
Maintain a "Health-Department-Ready" kitchen at all times. Lead the team in food safety (ServSafe) and sanitation. 2. Financial Stewardship (The Bottom Line) Food Cost:
Manage inventory, minimize waste, and work with vendors to keep food costs within the
28%-32%
range. Labor Management:
Create BOH schedules that align with projected volume, ensuring the kitchen is staffed for the Late August or Early September 2026 opening rush without overspending. Inventory:
Conduct weekly physical inventory counts and manage ordering to ensure we never run out of staples. 3. Leadership & Training Team Building:
Recruit, hire, and train a crew of BOH staff. The GM Partnership:
Communicate clearly with the GM regarding 86'ed items, ticket times, and staff performance. Mentorship:
Foster a positive "No-Drama" kitchen culture where line cooks are encouraged to grow. Required Qualifications Experience:
3+ years as a Sous Chef or Kitchen Manager in a high-volume, scratch-kitchen environment. Skill Set:
Expert-level knowledge of scratch line cooking (fry, sauté, grill, and expo). Leadership:
Proven ability to manage a team of people during high-stress shifts. Logistics:
Proficiency in food ordering software and basic spreadsheets. The "Ideal Candidate" Profile We are looking for a "Working Chef"-someone who leads from the line, not from an office. You should have a passion for pub culture and the ability to train staff who may have limited experience. If you can stay calm during a 120-seat dinner rush and still find time to high-five the dishwasher, you're our person. At Inspiration Brewing Company, we believe that great beer and hospitality are for everyone. We are actively building a diverse team that reflects the community we serve.
Women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees, free from discrimination.
