We maintain a professional and supportive work environment where culinary professionals can thrive, grow, and advance their careers beyond the traditional kitchen settings.

This full-time personal chef position presents an exceptional opportunity for culinary professionals seeking better work-life balance and career advancement outside the conventional restaurant kitchen roles such as sous-chef or line cook. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., ensuring that evenings and weekends remain free for personal time. As a personal chef, you will be responsible for managing 8 to 9 clients weekly, providing tailored culinary services that include meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, and kitchen clean-up. This role allows you to use your creativity across diverse cuisines while forging meaningful relationships with clients who value your culinary expertise.

Beyond routine meal preparation, the position involves hosting intimate private dining events and dinner parties, teaching cooking classes as a culinary instructor, leading corporate team-building cooking workshops, and supporting special projects such as menu design and event catering. Unlike traditional culinary positions confined to busy kitchens with unpredictable hours, this role offers consistent, predictable working hours and direct client engagement. It provides a unique opportunity to extend your skills into event management, culinary education, and leadership within the food industry.

We invest heavily in our chefs through comprehensive hands-on training, mentorship programs, and career development initiatives designed to promote professional growth. The compensation package is highly competitive, offering hourly pay between $23 and $24, in addition to bonuses and referral incentives. Medical and dental benefits become available after 90 days of employment, with the employer covering 65 percent of the premiums. After one year, employees are eligible to participate in a 401k retirement plan featuring a 4 percent employer match. Additionally, life and disability insurance are provided at no cost to employees. Travel may be required during training, and all travel expenses will be reimbursed.

We value innovation, dedication, and outstanding performance, recognizing and rewarding our team members with clear pathways for financial advancement and role elevation within the company. After one year of favorable performance evaluations, there is an opportunity for a salary increase. We utilize a thorough interview process that includes a video interview, a cooking bench test with reimbursement, and a paid full-day stage to ensure that our chefs meet our high standards of quality and professionalism.
