CHEF / KITCHEN LEAD | NEW RESTAURANT OPENING | LOS ANGELES AREA
About:
Cashiew Hospitality is looking to open a vibrant, retro Southeast Asian-inspired bar and eatery built around the energy and flavor of fire-grilled skewers. Our vision combines the smoky aroma of the grill, bold marinades, punchy dipping sauces, and shareable plates with a lively, nostalgic Asian bar atmosphere. Think open-flame cooking, exciting street-food influences, a playful retro aesthetic, and a relaxed social setting where food and drinks go hand in hand.
The Opportunity:
We are seeking a hands-on, creative Chef / Kitchen Lead to help bring this new concept to life. This is more than a traditional line-management role: the right person will have a voice in developing the food program, translating the concept into an efficient menu, and building the standards and team that makes us memorable from day one.
What You Will Do
• Help create and refine a focused menu of fire-grilled meat, seafood, and vegetable skewers, complementary small plates, marinades, sauces, and sides.
• Develop bold Southeast Asian-inspired flavor profiles while balancing authenticity, creativity, speed, consistency, and approachability.
• Build recipes, prep lists, plating guides, portion standards, costing, and systems suited to an energetic bar-and-dining environment.
• Lead daily kitchen operations, grill execution, ordering, inventory, sanitation, and food safety.
• Recruit, train, and motivate the opening kitchen team; create a culture of accountability, collaboration, and pride.
• Partner with ownership and front-of-house leadership on menu development, service flow, food cost, and guest experience.
Who We Are Looking For
• Experience as a chef, sous chef, or strong kitchen lead with proven ability to run service and develop a team.
• Strong grilling skills; live-fire, skewer, wok, or Southeast Asian cuisine experience is especially valuable.
• Creativity with marinades, spice, smoke, acidity, sauces, and layered flavors.
• Comfort building a kitchen from the ground up while staying practical about labor, waste, and food costs.
• A hands-on leader who enjoys a fast-paced, late-night-friendly hospitality environment.
Why Join Cashiew Hospitality
Help shape the identity of a new restaurant, influence the opening menu, establish the kitchen culture, and grow with an ambitious hospitality concept.
Position & Application
Location: HIGHLAND PARK area
Schedule: Full-time, including nights and weekends
Compensation: Based on experience Start: Coordinated with opening timeline
Please submit your résumé, a short introduction, and examples of menus or dishes you have developed.
