Location : Leesburg, VA

Opening August 2025

The Huntōn , a premiere boutique hotel and culinary destination opening in August 2025, is redefining luxury dining in Virginia’s hunt country. Our food philosophy blends local sourcing with world-class refinement — and we’re looking for a strong, reliable Breakfast & Lunch Lead Cook to take charge of daytime service in our all-day kitchen.

About the Role :

As the Breakfast & Lunch Lead , you will oversee morning prep, coordinate breakfast execution for hotel guests and local diners, and lead a small team through a fast-paced, elevated lunch service. You’ll be responsible for ensuring a clean, organized kitchen, managing service flow, and maintaining high standards from the first ticket to the last plate.

This is a leadership role for someone who can both cook and coordinate — someone who thrives in early hours, sets the tone for the day, and brings calm, focused energy to the kitchen.

Key Responsibilities :

• Lead execution of breakfast and lunch service with consistency and urgency
• Manage morning prep and station setup for your team and the PM brigade
• Maintain clear communication with BOH and FOH to ensure seamless service
• Monitor food quality, portioning, presentation, and timing on the line
• Assist with menu execution, special requests, and occasional brunch service
• Enforce health and safety standards, cleaning procedures, and prep organization
• Train and mentor junior cooks and ensure accountability during day shifts
