Job Description
HHS is a private, family-owned business dedicated to caring for its team members and providing honest, quality-driven customer service. Founded in 1975 as Hospital Housekeeping Systems, today HHS offers comprehensive services that include housekeeping, food, and facility management to nearly 1,000 customers across six different industries. The company has experienced rapid growth and is currently seeking motivated leaders to join the organization for the next stage of its journey. With a strong focus on supporting and encouraging internal growth, HHS believes it has countless future leaders within its ranks who are ready for their next opportunity. The company's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Team fosters a work environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel heard, respected, and encouraged to thrive.
The role of Executive Chef at HHS is a pivotal leadership position that demands both culinary expertise and strong team management skills. The Executive Chef will be responsible for building a well-trained and motivated culinary team that consistently produces high-quality food while rigorously adhering to safety, sanitation, and service principles. This role requires providing effective leadership that cultivates a positive team environment emphasizing morale, passion, quality, and respect. Creativity is essential, as the Executive Chef will develop innovative menus that align with current market trends and continuously work to improve or maintain high levels of customer and patient satisfaction.
Key responsibilities include leading and managing all aspects of team member recruiting, training, development, scheduling, and assignments. The Executive Chef will also oversee quality control systems to ensure food integrity and drive compliance with all applicable health, safety, and industry regulations. Financial and operational management duties encompass forecasting, recipe costing, inventory management, ordering, production planning, scheduling, payroll, and supply procurement to ensure budget adherence. This multifaceted role requires a candidate who combines strong kitchen skills—such as knife techniques, recipe preparation, and live-action cooking—with exceptional interpersonal and communication abilities. A service-oriented mindset focused on exceeding customer expectations, professionalism, sound decision-making, proactivity, teamwork, business ethics, and organizational skills are crucial for success.
HHS values diversity and encourages veterans and candidates with military experience to apply. The company prioritizes employee health and safety, with many healthcare facilities under its umbrella requiring full COVID-19 vaccination or an approved exemption. The Executive Chef position is an excellent opportunity for culinary professionals seeking career growth within a supportive and dynamic organization that values innovation, quality, and inclusion.
