Personal Chef

Are you a culinary professional seeking a career path that offers superior work-life balance and growth opportunities beyond the traditional constraints of a sous chef or line cook role? This full-time personal chef position is designed for those who value their evenings and weekends, operating on a consistent Monday through Friday schedule from 8am to 6pm.

In this role, you will serve as a personal chef for 8–9 clients weekly, managing the entire culinary experience from grocery shopping and meal planning to cooking and kitchen cleanup. This position provides a unique platform to showcase your creativity across a variety of cuisines while building meaningful relationships with clients who deeply appreciate your expertise. Beyond standard meal preparation, you will have the opportunity to host intimate private dining events, teach cooking classes, lead corporate team-building workshops, and support special projects like menu design and event catering.

What sets this role apart from traditional restaurant environments is the freedom from regular late nights and weekends. You will enjoy direct client interaction and creative menu autonomy, with clear pathways to grow beyond the kitchen into events, education, and leadership. We invest in our chefs through hands-on training, mentorship, and career development programs. If you are someone who enjoys taking initiative and driving growth, this role offers virtually unlimited potential to evolve into a private chef, event chef, or culinary leader.

Our company values hard work, creativity, and dedication. We recognize exceptional performance with a clear pathway to financial advancement, including well-deserved raises at the one-year mark contingent upon favorable evaluations. We reward innovation and exceeding expectations through a competitive compensation package that includes bonuses and referral incentives.

The interview process is designed to assess both fit and culinary skill. It begins with a 15-minute fit call, followed by a video interview. Candidates will then complete a bench test where they cook a meal (with reimbursement), and finally, a paid full-day stage to demonstrate their capabilities in a real-world setting. A cover letter is highly encouraged when applying.

Please note that all applicants offered a position will be subject to a background check. We utilize E-Verify to electronically confirm Form I-9 information to verify identity and employment eligibility. Travel may be required during training, and TSC compensates for these travel expenses.
