Chef

Love to cook? Tired of the chaos?

We're looking for a chef who still gets excited about food, runs an organized kitchen, and wants to work alongside people they actually like. No egos, no yelling, no drama. Just good food and good people.

At Barrel Proof Atlanta, you'll run a creative, approachable menu that pairs with our drinks and holds its own. The food should be delicious to eat and sane to execute. You'll have room to put your stamp on it, and a team that has your back on every shift.

Who we are
LeBLANC+SMITH is the team behind Barrel Proof (New Orleans + Nashville), The Chloe (New Orleans + Nashville), Sylvain, Anna's, Peychaud's, and Anna's Sylvain (New Orleans). We're a laid-back crew with high standards, and we care a lot about the people who work here.

You might be our person if you:

• Love to cook and take pride in food that's done right
• Are organized: clean prep lists, smart ordering, tidy walk-ins, systems that hold up
• Lead by teaching, not by yelling
• Want a calm, focused kitchen where good work and good people come first
• Enjoy late-night energy (evening, late-night, and weekend shifts expected)

What you'll do

• Run a great kitchen: Keep prep and execution timely, the kitchen and storage clean and organized, and jump on the line when the team needs you.
• Build your team: Train on prep, safety, and systems. Coach in the moment, give real feedback, and create a kitchen people want to work in.
• Own the numbers: Manage labor and food costs, control portioning and waste, do weekly inventory, and partner with management on budgets.
• Keep it safe: Uphold health codes and L+S sanitation standards, keep safety and temp logs current, and make sure equipment is in good shape.
• Work as one team: Partner closely with FOH so bar and kitchen run seamlessly.

Our Benefits

• 14 days paid vacation
• 2 weeks paid parental leave (after 2 years of service)
• [Health insurance] offered to all team members, with weekly L+S contributions for full-time employees (35+ hours/week)
