Executive Chef/Kitchen Manager

Executive Chef Opportunity at The Lions Den 1837

We are now looking for an Executive Chef who is ready to take the next step in their career and lead something truly special.

What We Offer

Schedule

Our hours of operation are Wednesday-Sunday 4pm-9pm. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. This allows for staff to be completely off 2 full days put of the week for a true work/life balance.

Benefits

Management staff is eligible to participate in our Health insurance program.

We offer 2 weeks of paid time off per year.

Creative Freedom and Leadership

This is not a corporate kitchen. Here, your ideas and standards matter. You’ll have a direct hand in shaping our menu, guiding the team, and influencing the guest experience.

Growth Potential

As we continue to evolve, we’re looking for a culinary leader who wants to grow with us. There are opportunities on the horizon for expansion, events, and leadership development for the right candidate.

A Focused, Thoughtfully Designed Menu

Our menu is intentionally curated to allow for excellence during both busy and slower nights. We prioritize precision, balance, and consistency over volume or trends.

A Strong, Supportive Team Environment

We’ve built a culture of mutual respect and accountability across both front and back of house. This is a place where leadership is valued and your contribution is recognized.

A Place to Make an Impact

If you’re tired of just showing up to cook and want to be part of something that feels personal and purposeful, The Lions Den 1837 offers that opportunity.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for a chef who is experienced, passionate, and driven. Someone who understands the importance of consistency, leadership, and the guest experience — and is ready to take ownership of a kitchen that reflects those values.

If you’re a chef who wants to do meaningful work, lead a professional team, and grow alongside a concept with vision and purpose, we would love to meet you.
