• Rooftop Restaurant & Bar (Walnut Creek) About Rooftop Rooftop sits three stories above downtown Walnut Creek, with views of Mt.

Diablo, a living garden wall and a bar program known across the Tri-Valley. It's where the East Bay goes for date night, a night out with friends or a celebration on the Lanai Balcony. Our menu is built around seasonal, shareable small plates. Rooftop is part of Diablo Restaurant Group, along with Cooperage American Grille, Gibsons Irish Pub and Prime Steakhouse & Martini Garden. Each concept has its own personality. What they share is warm service, real energy and a team that loves taking care of people. The Role We're looking for a kitchen leader who takes pride in flawless execution. You'll run Rooftop's kitchen day to day: the team, the systems, the costs and the consistency of every plate. Menus are developed in partnership with our culinary consultant, and your job is to bring them to life at a high standard, every shift. What You'll Do Execute the menu to spec, with consistent portioning, plating and quality across every shift. Roll out new menu items, including recipe cards, line training and launch-day execution. Run a compact, high-volume kitchen through tight prep systems and station setup. Execute private events and buyouts, including the Lanai Balcony. Hire, train and develop a kitchen team that takes pride in consistency. Own food cost, labor, ordering, inventory, safety and health-code compliance, and review results with the GM and ownership. Partner with the GM and front-of-house leaders on service flow and guest experience. What We're Looking For 5+ years of kitchen leadership (Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef or Kitchen Manager) in a full-service, high-volume restaurant.

A track record of consistency:

you build systems and hold standards. Proven efficiency in a tight kitchen footprint. Banquet or private-event experience. P&L literacy: food cost, labor and purchasing. A people-first leader who builds a team that wants to stay. California Food Manager certification, or the ability to get it. Perks & Benefits Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses. Health and benefits package. Growth opportunities with a dynamic, expanding restaurant group.
