CATERING & EVENT CHEF

Skokie, IL | Salary Up to $95K

THIS ISN’T A RESTAURANT KITCHEN. THIS IS PRODUCTION AT SCALE.

We’re looking for a Catering & Event Chef who knows how to execute exceptional food for large-scale events without sacrificing scratch-made quality. If you’ve led an off-premise catering operation, managed a large production kitchen, and thrive in high-volume environments, this is your opportunity to take the lead.

You’ll oversee menu execution, production, prep, staffing, food quality, and event readiness from the kitchen to the final plate. You’ll work closely with the catering and events team to ensure every event is organized, consistent, and executed flawlessly.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Off-premise catering and event experience
  • Scratch-kitchen background
  • Large-scale production kitchen experience
  • Strong leadership and team-development skills
  • Excellent organization and execution
  • Ability to manage multiple events and deadlines

Compensation: Up to $95K + competitive benefits.

If you’re ready to lead production and make your mark in a growing catering operation, let’s talk.
