Job Details
Head Chef / Kitchen Manager
 
The Rosebriar Inn on Kettle Creek | Westport, Pennsylvania
 
An Opportunity to Create, Lead & Grow in the Heart of the PA Wilds
 
The Rosebriar Inn on Kettle Creek is seeking a passionate, dependable, and creative Head Chef to lead our kitchen and help shape the future of our growing restaurant.
 
Located in the beautiful Pennsylvania Wilds, our independently owned restaurant and inn is building a unique culinary identity centered around scratch-made comfort food, regional flavors, and seasonal PA Wilds-inspired dishes.
 
We're looking for more than someone who can prepare great food. We want a hands-on culinary leader who takes pride in their work, understands the business side of running a kitchen, and enjoys bringing fresh ideas to the table.
 
Key Responsibilities
 
- Oversee daily kitchen operations, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner service.
- Prepare and execute high-quality, consistent meals.
- Lead, train, schedule, and support kitchen employees.
- Manage food purchasing, vendor relationships, inventory, and waste.
- Monitor food costs, portion sizes, and profitability.
- Develop creative seasonal specials and contribute to menu planning.
- Maintain proper food safety, sanitation, storage, and kitchen organization.
- Improve kitchen efficiency, preparation procedures, and ticket times.
- Work collaboratively with ownership and front-of-house employees.
- Maintain high standards of presentation, consistency, and guest satisfaction.
 
What We're Looking For
 
- Previous culinary leadership or kitchen management experience.
- Strong cooking skills and knowledge of scratch-made food preparation.
- Experience with inventory, ordering, food costs, and portion control.
- Ability to lead a small team with patience, professionalism, and accountability.
- Creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to introduce new ideas.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to work efficiently during busy service periods.
- A genuine passion for hospitality and quality food.
 
Why Join The Rosebriar?
 
We're a small, family-owned business with big dreams. Unlike a corporate restaurant, we offer an opportunity to have a meaningful voice in the kitchen, help develop our culinary direction, and grow alongside our business.
 
Our vision is to create a dining destination that celebrates the beauty, flavors, and traditions of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
 
If you're an experienced culinary professional who enjoys creating memorable meals, leading a team, and taking pride in a kitchen you can help make your own, we'd love to hear from you.
 
Come create something special with us!

Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania's breathtaking PA Wilds, The Rosebriar Inn on Kettle Creek is a family-owned restaurant and boutique inn located in Westport, Pennsylvania, surrounded by Sproul State Forest and just miles from Kettle Creek State Park.

We're bringing new life to a beloved, longtime establishment by combining genuine small-town hospitality, beautifully renovated accommodations, and an exciting culinary vision inspired by the natural beauty and traditions of our region.

Our restaurant specializes in scratch-made comfort food with a distinctive PA Wilds-inspired menu featuring regional flavors, seasonal ingredients, and unique offerings such as venison, elk, trout, and other rustic favorites.

As we continue to grow, we're seeking a passionate, experienced culinary leader who shares our commitment to quality, creativity, consistency, and exceptional hospitality.

We believe our kitchen should be a place where fresh ideas are welcomed, teamwork is valued, and culinary talent has room to flourish. Our ideal chef will have the opportunity to take ownership of kitchen operations, inspire and develop a team, create seasonal specials, refine our menu, and help shape the future of our dining experience.

We're not a corporate restaurant or a large hospitality chain. We're a small, independently owned business with big dreams, a personal approach, and a genuine passion for creating something memorable.

At The Rosebriar Inn, we believe in being creators, not copiers. Our goal is to become a destination where guests come not only for the beauty of Pennsylvania's great outdoors, but also for exceptional food and an experience worth returning for.

If you're a culinary professional who values independence, creativity, leadership, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to welcome you to The Rosebriar family.
