About Mammoth Fieldhouse Mammoth Fieldhouse OKC is a competitive social venue where sport, food, and community share one roof. Pure Putt. Arc Rivals. Battle Bats. Wiffle Ball. A self-pour beer wall, a scratch kitchen, and a full bar built to stand on their own. Open play, leagues, tournaments, and private events, all night, every night. Oklahoma City is a big-league sports town with no shortage of places to spend a night out. Athletes here have options, which means the standard has to hold on a slow Wednesday and a sold-out Saturday alike. About the Role The food has to be worth the drive. This is not concession food next to a game. Mammoth Fieldhouse serves a scratch kitchen menu that has to hold its own against any restaurant in the region, and it has to do it while the building is full and loud and moving. The Executive Chef owns the entire culinary operation: menu, execution, cost, safety, and the kitchen team. You will build the kitchen from an empty room, hire the brigade, write the recipes and specs, and set the pace that the line will keep for years. You will also own a real banquet and events business running alongside open play. Both have to be excellent at the same time. What You'll Own Menu and Execution Own menu development, recipe standards, plate specs, and seasonal changes in partnership with executive leadership. Own execution quality on every ticket, on the busiest night of the year. Build the banquet and events menu and execute large-format service without pulling the line apart. Own ticket times and expo discipline. The kitchen sets a pace the Field can sell against. Cost and Purchasing Own food cost and kitchen COGS to target. Recipe costing, yield management, waste control, and menu engineering. Own purchasing, vendor relationships, and receiving standards. Run inventory on a fixed cycle and reconcile against theoretical cost. Own kitchen labor against the sales forecast. Team and Safety Hire, train, and develop the full kitchen team, including three Sous Chefs. Build a kitchen culture people want to work in. Loud is fine. Cruel is not. Own food safety, HACCP practice, temperature logs, sanitation, and health inspection readiness. Own certification tracking for the entire kitchen team. What Success Looks Like First 90
