About the Company

Do you have a passion for refining innovative dishes and inspiring a dynamic kitchen team? Are you a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment? If you want to take your leadership skills to the next level while making a direct impact on our culinary operations, this is the opportunity for you!

Who we’re not looking for : Someone who prefers a repetitive role without the desire to question current practices or refine recipes and techniques.

For over 25 years, we’ve been a leader in off-premise catering, serving Fortune 500 companies, fashion houses, universities, weddings, and historic venues. As a woman-owned, family-run business, we blend tradition with innovation, operating out of two cutting-edge facilities spanning 30,000+ sq ft. Now, as we expand across the Tri-State area, we need an Executive Sous Chef to help us continue delivering exceptional food experiences at scale.

What You'll Do

  • Innovate & Create  – Contribute to the development of trendsetting menus and refine recipes across a variety of cuisines and product lines.
  • Lead & Motivate  – Manage, mentor, and train kitchen staff, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.
  • Hands-On Culinary Leadership  – Oversee the day-to-day production, working directly with fresh ingredients, ensuring impeccable food quality and timely execution.
  • Elevate Catering Excellence  – Support kitchen operations during large-scale, high-profile events, ensuring each one meets our top-tier standards.
  • Optimize & Scale  – Contribute to operational efficiencies, ensuring the kitchen runs smoothly as we scale our catering and co-packing production.
  • Flexibility & Adaptability  – Manage at a high level while remaining adaptable to changing conditions and performing other duties as assigned by the CEO/Chef de Cuisine.

What You Bring

  • Creative Vision  – A passion for developing contemporary, innovative, and exciting menu offerings.
  • Experience  – 5+ years in kitchen operations, with at least 3 years in a leadership role in off-premise catering or high-volume kitchens.
  • Catering Expertise  – Extensive experience managing large-scale catering production, ensuring seamless event execution.
  • Leadership Skills  – Proven ability to teach, mentor, and manage kitchen staff, including creating and implementing training programs, managing schedules, and overseeing labor controls.
  • Efficiency-Oriented  – A focus on improving processes and workflows to enhance kitchen productivity and food quality.
  • Bilingual Advantage  – Proficiency in Kitchen Spanish is a plus!

Why Join Food Trends?

  • Work Hard, Have Fun, Grow Your Career  – Be part of a creative and supportive team that values innovation and collaboration.
  • Hands-On & Impactful  – Have a direct influence on the future of our culinary operations and menu development.
  • Room for Growth  – As we expand, you’ll play a key role in shaping our evolution and scaling our success!
