    Description
    HC-Resource is looking for an experienced and driven Executive Chef with full-service leadership experience and a strong background in Tex-Mex cuisine (scratch cooking, high-volume execution, and authentic/regionally inspired flavor profiles).
    We've maintained a stellar reputation for quality food, outstanding beverage programs, and hospitality-first service-and we're building an exciting new Tex-Mex-forward concept where the menu is the center of the guest experience: chef-inspired, approachable, and made from scratch. Our cozy bar is the perfect place for guests to gather with margaritas, cocktails, wine, and great beer selections.
    If you're passionate about Tex-Mex, scratch-made food, team leadership, and creating memorable guest experiences in a high-volume full-service environment, we want to talk to you
    Base Salary: $70K-$80K (DOE)
    Responsibilities
    • Recruit, select, train, and develop a high-performing back-of-house team that delivers consistent excellence in a full-service setting
    • Lead day-to-day kitchen operations: prep systems, service execution, expo standards, and speed-of-service
    • Own and execute a Tex-Mex culinary program: scratch sauces, salsas, marinades, proteins, masa/tortillas (where applicable), and menu features rooted in strong fundamentals
    • Maintain accurate inventory levels and ordering systems to eliminate outages and improve turns (with special attention to high-value items and key staples)
    • Deliver industry-leading training, recipes, and station standards that create repeatable results across shifts
    • Manage employee relations through clear communication and coaching tailored to individual team members
    • Maintain kitchen conditions that meet or exceed company goals for cleanliness, organization, and readiness
    • Analyze food, labor, and operational reports; take action to improve performance and consistency
    • Control expenses (food cost, inventory, waste, payroll, etc.) to meet or beat budget guidelines
    • Post BOH schedules within company timelines; ensure proper staffing for volume and events
    • Complete recurring tasks on or before scheduled deadlines
    • Maintain a professional image with guests and staff at all times
    • Partner with FOH leadership to deliver excellent guest service, smooth handoffs, and strong shift leadership
    • Run great shifts-calm, organized, and standards-driven
    • Maintain 95%+ on government health inspections and uphold food safety culture daily
    What we're looking for
    • Proven success leading high-volume full-service restaurants as an Executive Chef or senior BOH leader
    • Demonstrated Tex-Mex experience (menu development and/or execution) with a scratch-cooking mindset
    • Strong leadership qualities that motivate, coach, and develop a high-achieving kitchen team
    • Exceptional standards around consistency, plating, sanitation, and execution under pressure
    • Ability to set the team up for success: lead by example, set high standards, delegate effectively, and develop people
    • Commitment to creating a safe, fun, and clean environment where employees thrive and guests return
    • Performance-minded: meets expectations in sales support, costs, quality, hospitality, cleanliness, and speed
    • Maintains safety and security of employees, guests, and company assets
    • Communicates openly, clearly, and effectively with a positive, solutions-oriented demeanor
    What We Offer
    • Competitive Salary + Performance Bonuses
    • 401(k) Matching - Up to 4% employer match
    • Comprehensive Health Insurance - Because your well-being matters
    This is more than just a job-it's a chance to build a fulfilling career with stability, growth, and a supportive team.
