The right person will be able to see what needs to be done and do it without requiring constant direction.

Previous professional kitchen experience is required. Experience with menu development, inventory management, food costing and ordering is strongly preferred. Important Role Distinction This position carries responsibility for food quality, menu execution and kitchen systems — not personnel management.

Scheduling, hiring, performance management and other employee-management responsibilities will remain with Tall Trellis ownership/operations. If you're passionate about food, enjoy creating and improving menus, and want a position where you can make an impact without taking on traditional staff-management responsibilities, we'd love to hear from you.
