Chef Thomas Keller is looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about food, beverage, and hospitality to join the team. 

Be a leading force in the kitchen in the role of a Chef de Cuisine.  Ideal candidates will have at least 5-7 years of experience, preferably within a fine dining environment.  As a member of the culinary leadership team, this individual must be an independent worker and possess proven management skills. 

In addition to technical skill, the ideal candidate must have strong interpersonal and communication skills and the desire to learn and contribute.

Our company culture is founded on mentorship and providing a solid foundation of skills to support our profession. We are proud to offer:
 
  • Opportunities for growth and advancement     
  • Peer mentorship     
  • Scholarship programs     
  • Competitive health insurance options, with employer contributions toward your premium based on the plan you choose*     
  • Voluntary plans such as vision, life and AD&D insurance, accident, hospitalization, critical illness short- and long-term disability insurance, and pet insurance.   
  • 401K with no waiting periods and the opportunity to receive up to 4% of your salary as matching contributions     
  • Employee discounts at Chef Thomas Keller's casual properties     
  • Family meal    
  • Complimentary parking   

Who we are:

With more than 10 properties and 800 employees, the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group (TKRG) has grown from one restaurant to a large family of businesses.

TKRG proudly represents The French Laundry, Per Se, The Surf Club Restaurant, Bouchon Bistro, Bouchon Bakery, Ad Hoc, and RO Restaurant & Lounge. The properties and people Chef Keller inspires are known for setting new standards in cuisine, service, and employment experiences. Our goal is to collaborate with talented restaurant professionals and offer opportunities to learn and grow within the hospitality profession. As we have expanded over time, the expectations that set apart our restaurants have not changed: ensuring that every guest feels special, and every guest experience is exceptional. A guest can walk into The French Laundry or one of the Bouchon Bakeries and have the most enjoyable, unique, and memorable experience. A chef will find the same blue aprons and green tape in each of our kitchens—symbols of a common striving for excellence. Outside the kitchens, every action we take must reflect the generosity, nurturing, and finesse within. As members of the TKRG family, we have the responsibility to ensure this consistency. Beyond it, all is a mission, perhaps summed up best by Chef Keller himself. “To make people happy, one guest at a time,” he says. “That is what cooking is all about.”
