The Chef de Cuisine will lead the culinary team, managing kitchen staff in procurement, production, preparation, and presentation across all food service outlets. The role ensures a safe, sanitary work environment that meets all standards and regulations, while delivering profitable, high‑quality products.
As a hands‑on culinary leader, you will bring the food story to life by developing menus, seasonal features, and refined execution. You will cook daily alongside the team, set standards for technique, presentation, and flavor, and support chef‑driven experiences such as action stations and theatrical kitchen moments. You are comfortable leading from the line and shaping the broader culinary vision.
You will oversee daily kitchen operations, control food cost, labor, purchasing, and inventory, and conduct line checks, tastings, and recipe reviews with clear feedback. Equipment needs will be identified and coordinated for repair, ensuring the kitchen runs efficiently.
Building and developing the team is a core responsibility: recruit, train, coach, and inspire staff, manage scheduling, performance feedback, and documentation, and foster a culture of respect, accountability, and pride. Collaboration with front‑of‑house leaders and hotel management is essential, as is maintaining full compliance with health regulations and safety standards.
We’re looking for enthusiastic, fun, and energetic people who take the work seriously, but not themselves. The Chef de Cuisine position is based at Trilith Guesthouse in Fayetteville, Georgia, serving Prologue Dining & Drinks, Prologue Lounge, and Oliver’s Twist Rooftop. If you have a passion for great food and storytelling, we’d love to see if you’re a fit.
