Executive Chef

If you’re a chef who takes pride in the food that leaves your kitchen, loves developing a team, and wants to run an operation where food is the reason customers keep coming back, Joseph’s Classic Market may be the right place for you. Joseph’s Classic Market is designed to be an alternative to a restaurant, where customers can enjoy chef-prepared, restaurant-quality meals at home. Our Prepared Foods department is the centerpiece of our store and one of the biggest reasons our customers choose Joseph’s. We’re looking for an Executive Chef to take ownership of the culinary operation. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants to lead from the kitchen, develop a strong team, maintain exceptional standards, and build a Prepared Foods department they can be proud of. What You’ll Own Food & Execution: Ensure exceptional taste, freshness, consistency, presentation, recipe execution, and availability every day. People & Leadership: Lead, train, develop, schedule, and hold the kitchen team accountable while building a culture of pride, urgency, and teamwork. Kitchen Operations: Own daily production, purchasing, inventory, pars, food cost, labor, waste, sanitation, and overall kitchen organization. Performance & Growth: Drive Prepared Foods sales and profitability while identifying opportunities to improve the menu, products, processes, and customer experience. Standards & Safety: Maintain an organized, inspection-ready kitchen and consistently enforce Joseph’s standards for food safety, cleanliness, equipment, and operational execution.
