Job Description:
Executive Chef / Head Chef Opportunity
Ozark Farm-to-Table | Building a Restaurant with a Sense of Place
We’re looking for an Executive Chef who believes that food is more
than just what’s on the plate — it’s an act of hospitality and a way
to tell the story of a place. This is a rare chance to help create a
restaurant from the ground up, one rooted in the land, seasons, and
community of the Ozarks.
About the Role
This role is about leading with both creativity and care. You’ll
guide the development of a farm-to-table dining experience that
celebrates local ingredients and regional traditions while cooking
food that feels familiar, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying.
We’re not chasing trends — we’re building something with lasting
meaning. The right chef leads with humility, generosity, and
consistency, knowing that real hospitality starts in the kitchen.
What You’ll Do
- Craft a seasonally inspired menu that showcases the best of local
farms and producers.
- Build and mentor a kitchen team that values curiosity, respect,
and excellence.
- Form close relationships with farmers, foragers, and artisans
across the Ozarks.
- Manage daily operations, costing, and food safety with care and
precision.
- Collaborate with ownership to shape the restaurant’s creative and
operational vision.
- Create food that feels true to this region — the kind of food
people return for repeatedly.
