Job Description

About the Company

Do you have a flair for creating innovative dishes and inspiring a team? Are you passionate about training others and leading a talented kitchen crew? If you’re looking for the freedom to lead and the opportunity to earn based on your performance, this is the role for you!"

Who we’re not looking for: Someone who seeks a structured, routine-based role without the drive to innovate or push boundaries in the kitchen.

For over 25 years, we’ve been a leader in off-premise catering, serving Fortune 500 companies, fashion houses, universities, weddings, and historic venues. As a woman-owned, family-run business, we blend tradition with innovation, operating out of two cutting-edge facilities spanning 30,000+ sq ft. Now, we’re expanding across the Tri-State area—and we need a visionary Culinary Director to help take our offerings to the next level.

What You'll Do

  • Create & Innovate – Develop trendsetting menus and refine recipes across a variety of cuisines and product lines.
  • Lead & Inspire – Hire, train, and mentor kitchen staff, fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture.
  • Hands-On Execution – Work directly with fresh ingredients, oversee production, and ensure impeccable quality.
  • Elevate Catering Excellence – Manage kitchen operations for large-scale, high-profile events.
  • Optimize & Scale – Implement efficiencies in catering and co-packing production as we grow.
  • Ensure Top-Tier Standards – Maintain compliance with FDA/USDA food safety regulations.

What You Bring

  • Creative Vision – Passion for contemporary, exciting, and innovative menu development.
  • Experience – 10 years in kitchen operations, with at least 2 years in a leadership role in off-premise catering.
  • Catering Expertise – 5+ years managing catering production, ensuring flawless execution.
  • Leadership Skills – Strong organizational abilities to manage staff, schedules, and inventory.
  • Process Improvement Mindset – Constantly seek ways to enhance efficiency and quality.
  • Bilingual Advantage – Proficiency in Kitchen Spanish is a plus!

Why Join Food Trends?

  • Work Hard, Have Fun, Grow Your Career – Be part of an exciting, supportive team that values creativity and innovation.
  • Hands-On & Impactful – Directly shape the future of our menus and operations.
  • Room for Growth – We’re expanding, and you’ll play a key role in our evolution!
