Full job description

An established restaurant group operating three restaurants, is seeking an experienced Group Culinary Director to oversee culinary strategy, menu development, food costing and kitchen performance across the group.

This is a strategic, group-level position, focused on culinary development, financial performance and operational systems rather than the day-to-day running of individual kitchens.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, refine and optimise menus across three restaurant concepts.
  • Oversee recipe costing, menu engineering and food profitability.
  • Establish and maintain culinary standards, recipes and operating procedures.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce food costs, wastage and inefficiencies.
  • Monitor food quality, consistency and kitchen performance.
  • Mentor and provide strategic guidance to restaurant head chefs.
  • Evaluate ingredients, suppliers and product specifications.
  • Implement systems to improve kitchen efficiency and accountability.

Requirements

  • Senior-level culinary experience, preferably across multiple restaurants.
  • Proven expertise in menu development, recipe costing and food cost management.
  • Strong commercial and analytical abilities.
  • Experience developing kitchen systems and managing senior chefs.
  • Excellent leadership, organisational and communication skills.
  • Comfortable working with technology, spreadsheets and reporting systems.

Position Structure

  • Reports directly to the Group Managing Director.
  • Operates independently of individual restaurant management structures.
  • Provides strategic culinary oversight across all three restaurants.
  • Head chefs retain responsibility for daily kitchen operations.
  • No routine cooking or kitchen shift responsibilities but would be expected on an ad hoc basis.

Remuneration

Negotiable depending on experience and qualifications.

Performance-based incentives linked to culinary quality, operational improvements and food profitability.

The Ideal Candidate

A commercially minded culinary professional who combines strong food knowledge with analytical thinking, creativity and a systems-driven approach.

We are looking for a culinary leader, not simply an executive chef — someone capable of improving the quality, consistency and profitability of an entire restaurant group.

Pay: R15 000,00 - R30 000,00 per month

Experience:

  • head chef: 5 years (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
