JOB OPPORTUNITY : FUTURE MICHELIN-STARRED CHEF WANTED – EQUITY PARTNER TRACK

We are a thriving, independently owned restaurant + bar in Glassboro NJ on the Rowan University campus with a loyal following, prime location, and a rock-solid foundation.

We’re not starting from zero.

We’re not looking for another line cook. We’re searching for one obsessed, young chef who wakes up thinking about flavor, texture, and the next boundary to break. Someone who lives for the grind, studies the Michelin guide like scripture, and knows exactly what it takes to earn a star—but hasn’t had the capital or the platform to make it happen yet.  This is not a salary-only gig.

This is a life-changing equity partnership in an already existing operation that’s ready to explode onto the national stage.

What we bring to the table (literally) :

• Fully built-out, high-volume kitchen with premium equipment.
• 80 -seat dining room + 20-seat bar
• Established supplier relationships, wine program, and front-of-house leadership in place
• Existing concept and Menu that can be tweaked or tossed out in favor of your vision
• Owner willing to step back from the kitchen and hand you the keys
• Invested capital of more than $1M
• Full liquor license that is rare and hard to get in NJ

What you bring :

The Deal :

If you’ve been sous-cheffing at someone else’s dream, saving every penny, and lying awake imagining the moment the Michelin inspector walks through the door… this is your shot.  We’re not promising it will be easy.

We’re promising it will be worth it.  Send your résumé, a one-page manifesto on where fine dining is going in 2026–2030, and a 5-photo portfolio of your best plates to : <

Subject line : “I was born for this. ” No phone calls. No recruiters. No “I kind of want a star someday” applications.

Only the motivated and hungry need apply.
