Personal Chef

MyChef Personal Chef Job description

MyChef KC is looking for talented chefs ready for a fantastic and life changing opportunity within the culinary industry.

Being a personal chef is more than just knowing how to cook flavorful, high quality food. It’s a chance to expand beyond the kitchen and truly make a difference in people’s lives. We’re offering an opportunity to flex your culinary muscle, connect with those you’re cooking for, and have an amazing work/life balance.

What we’re looking for:

• you must be good at cooking…obviously. Knife skills, understanding flavor profiles, knowledge in a variety of cuisines, and time management skills are all required and essential to being successful in this position. We typically look for a minimum of 5 years of experience in a professional kitchen capacity in all chefs.

• being efficient in planning menus, finding inspiration, and trying new recipes is another essential skill. You must have a basic understanding of some of the popular diets: vegan/vegetarianism, Paleo, Mediterranean, etc.. (We don’t expect you to know every possible cuisine, diet, or food allergie…but, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter them at some point. So being a fast learner and good at researching will help you tremendously.)

• you’ll be working directly with your clients each and every week. So having good interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with others and empathize is important.

• You’ll be working independently with up to 10 different clients each week. It’s important you’re able to stay organized and know how to use basic computer skills and Google Drive applications such as Sheets, Docs, and Forms.

• You must be able to act in a professional and responsible manner for all matters relating to MyChef. This means punctuality with your clients and schedule, responsiveness to communication both internally and externally, and any other instances where you represent our company.

Position Highlights:

- generally speaking you’ll be working daytime hours, Monday-Friday, as the majority of our business involves weekly meal prepping for clients. Some evening/weekend work may be required for planning purposes or special events. Most major holidays off.

- you will be responsible to set your own working hours with each client, create your own menus (we do not have recipe ownership), and work with each client on a weekly basis without supervision.

- You’ll have plenty of opportunity to cook whatever you want and to plan your own menus. It’s an excellent chance to sharpen your own skill set when it comes to techniques, cuisine knowledge, and overall cooking.

- $XX/hr for meal prep, $XX-$XX/hr for evening/weekend work (parties, private dinners, etc..); cash bonus at 6 months and 1 year, health insurance, vision/dental/life, parental leave.

Minimum Requirements:

-High school diploma/GED

-At least 5 years experience working in a professional kitchen or hospitality environment

-Weekday, daytime availability starting at 8:00 AM.

-Reliable transportation & a working smartphone or laptop (you will have clients all across the city)

-Able to pass a criminal background check

-If you'd like to be considered for this position please send a current resume with at least 2 professional references to the email listed at our website:
