This role offers the rare opportunity to build a culinary program from the ground up—starting with an intimate, 50–60 seat scratch-kitchen restaurant featuring artisan pizza, handmade pasta, and seasonal Italian-inspired cuisine, before expanding into high-volume event catering, banquets, and resort dining. Team Leadership & Mentorship: Recruit, train, coach, and develop a high-performing kitchen team centered on servant leadership, mutual respect, and accountability.
