Job Description

Are you a culinary professional looking for more work-life balance and career growth than a typical sous chef or line cook position can offer? This full-time personal chef position is Monday through Friday, 8am–6pm, giving you evenings and weekends FREE.

In this role, you’ll work as a personal chef for 8–9 clients per week—handling weekly grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, and kitchen clean-up. You’ll have the chance to showcase your creativity in a variety of cuisines while building relationships with clients who appreciate your culinary expertise.

Beyond weekly meal prep, our chefs also :

• Host intimate private dining events and dinner parties
• Teach cooking classes as a culinary instructor
• Lead corporate team-building cooking workshops
• Support special projects such as menu design and event catering

W hat Makes This Role Different from Restaurant Kitchen Jobs?

Unlike traditional restaurant sous chef or line cook jobs, this position offers :

Consistent, predictable Monday–Friday hours (no REGULAR late nights or weekends)

Direct client interaction and creative menu freedom

Opportunities to grow beyond the kitchen into events, education, and leadership
