The role of Culinary Director at Cowboys Golf Club is a leadership position dedicated to managing and elevating the culinary department. This position requires a dynamic individual who can directly coordinate all culinary operations, lead the kitchen team with a focus on talent development and retention, and uphold the highest operational and food safety standards. As Culinary Director, you will be entrusted with ensuring the club’s menus not only meet quality expectations but also drive profitability through efficient cost management and culinary creativity. You will work with national food programs related to menu planning, approved product lists, and inventory control to maintain consistency and fiscal accountability.

In this role, financial acumen is crucial as you will analyse monthly financial reports to ensure the culinary department meets its budget and profit goals. Should performance fall short, you will develop targeted action plans to address these gaps. A strong emphasis is placed on staff coaching to guarantee timely delivery of high-quality dishes while also maintaining compliance with all regulatory health and safety standards at federal, state, and local levels. Continuous communication within the organization is essential, as you will collaborate with other departments to coordinate special events and programs that enhance the member and guest experience.

The Culinary Director role demands a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays, to meet the demands of the club’s operations. The ideal candidate will have prior chef leadership experience, strong organizational skills, and excellent communication abilities. Certification such as ServSafe, to be obtained within 30 days of hire, is mandatory to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
