Job Description

Job Description

Description :

Are you a culinary professional looking for more work-life balance and career growth than a typical sous chef or line cook position can offer? This full-time personal chef position is Monday through Friday, 8am–6pm, giving you evenings and weekends FREE.

In this role, you’ll work as a personal chef for 8–9 clients per week—handling weekly grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, and kitchen clean-up. You’ll have the chance to showcase your creativity in a variety of cuisines while building relationships with clients who appreciate your culinary expertise.

Beyond weekly meal prep, our chefs also :

  • Host intimate private dining events and dinner parties
  • Teach cooking classes as a culinary instructor
  • Lead corporate team-building cooking workshops
  • Support special projects such as menu design and event catering

What Makes This Role Different from Restaurant Kitchen Jobs?

Unlike traditional restaurant sous chef or line cook jobs, this position offers :

  • Consistent, predictable Monday–Friday hours (no REGULAR late nights or weekends)
  • Direct client interaction and creative menu freedom
  • Opportunities to grow beyond the kitchen into events, education, and leadership
  • Why Work With Us?

    We invest in our chefs through hands-on training, mentorship, and career development programs. If you’re someone who enjoys taking initiative, building relationships, and driving growth, this role offers virtually unlimited potential.

    At our company, we reward hard work, creativity, and dedication. You’ll be more than just a line cook or sous chef—you’ll have the opportunity to grow into a private chef, event chef, or culinary leader.

    The compensation package is highly competitive and includes bonuses and referral incentives. After 90 days of employment, medical and dental benefits become available (employer pays 65%), and after one year, employees can enroll in a 401k plan with a 4% match program. Additionally, life and disability insurance are provided at no cost to the employee. If you're someone who enjoys taking initiative and driving growth, then TSC offers virtually unlimited potential for career advancement.

    At our company, we value and recognize exceptional performance and dedication. As a testament to our commitment to employee growth and satisfaction, we offer a clear pathway to financial advancement. As a candidate, you can expect the opportunity for a well-deserved raise at the 1 year mark, contingent upon favorable performance evaluations. We believe in rewarding hard work, innovation, and exceeding expectations.

    Qualified applicants should have a minimum of four years of line experience, a sense of urgency, people skills, attention to detail, ServSafe Manager certification and state-specific Allergen, and have a reliable vehicle.

    Previous experience / familiarity with computer / email / Google Workspaces / social media is preferred. All applicants offered a position will be subject to a background check.

    Please note that we use E-Verify to electronically confirm Form I-9 information to verify employee's identity and employment eligibility.

    Travel may be required during training. (TSC compensates for travel.)

    A cover letter is highly encouraged.
