Job Description

Private Chef FT with benefits/401k, Provision Table

We are seeking a Private Chef to join our food group’s Concierge Dining Division, delivering personalized, high-quality in-home dining experiences for a select group of private clients.
This role blends restaurant-level systems with elevated in-home service, ideal for a chef who values efficiency, discretion, and consistent execution in a private setting.
You will primarily prep and cook from our central kitchen, then finish and serve meals at client residences, ensuring a seamless, refined dining experience.
How We Work
Our concierge model is built on efficiency behind the scenes and simplicity at the table.
Each service day is structured as a full cooking day—you’ll begin in our central kitchen handling prep, batch cooking, and mise en place, then transition to the client’s home to finish, plate, and serve. This allows for a streamlined workflow while maintaining a high-quality, in-home dining experience.
Roughly 90% of the work is completed in the kitchen, with final execution done onsite.
We focus on real, whole-food cooking with clear nutrition intent. Meals are clean, thoughtful, and repeatable—built on high-quality ingredients, smart prep systems, and consistent execution.
You’ll receive direct client feedback, allowing you to refine menus and continuously elevate both food and service.
What You’ll Do
Execute full service days: prep in central kitchen → finish and serve at client homes
Prepare and batch cook high-quality meals efficiently within each service day
Design weekly menus aligned with client preferences, health goals, and lifestyle
Source premium ingredients (organic, specialty, and seasonal)
Portion, label, and store meals for non-service days
Maintain clean, organized, and fully stocked environments (kitchen + homes)
Standardize pantry and kitchen systems across households
Coordinate schedules across multiple clients seamlessly
Accommodate family-style dining, children’s meals, and dietary preferences
Support occasional private dinners or small gatherings (4–10 guests)
Track preferences and continuously refine menus and service
Schedule & Structure
Flexible structure (part-time or full-time depending on fit)
Service-based schedule (each workday = full prep + service flow)
Work may be shared across multiple households
Based in the Peninsula (general area)
Compensation
Hourly or salary options depending on schedule and experience
Competitive pay based on experience
Groceries and approved expenses fully reimbursed
What You’ll Need
3–5+ years of professional kitchen experience
Private chef or high-end hospitality experience preferred
Strong organization and systems mindset
Understanding of nutrition and ingredient quality
Ability to work independently across multiple locations
Professional, discreet, and service-oriented presence
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
Ability to pass a background check
Ideal Profile
Comfortable with Asian and Western cuisines
Experience with family-style + health-focused cooking
Efficient with batch prep and structured workflows
Detail-oriented with a strong sense of hospitality
Interested in growing within a concierge-style food service platform
