POSTED ON 10/21/2026

Join the SAVOR team as Executive Chef at our award-winning Harpeth Hotel! You have a passion for excellent food and are an experienced culinary leader.

You will lead teams at our 1799 Kitchen and Bar, McGavock's Cafe, and our busy banquet and event spaces.


At 1799 Kitchen & Bar Room, you’re part of a restaurant that Franklin calls its own. Neighbors return for a favorite table, friends gather over dinner, and families celebrate the moments that matter. Set inside The Harpeth Hotel, 1799 also gives travelers a taste of the city. Whether guests have been coming for years or are joining us for the first time, you help make the evening feel special.

There’s an energy here that goes beyond a typical night out. Our team brings the room to life through thoughtful service, creative food and drinks, and experiences that give guests a reason to return. Whether you’re in the kitchen, behind the bar, or on the floor, your work helps turn an ordinary evening into a lasting memory.


At McGavock’s Coffee Bar & Provisions, you get to be part of the best part of someone’s day. Set inside The Harpeth Hotel in the heart of Franklin, we welcome neighbors stopping in for their usual coffee, friends gathering over brunch, and travelers finding a place to slow down and feel at home. Every visit is an opportunity to offer a warm welcome and a genuine connection.

We believe the best hospitality starts with people who care about their craft and about one another. If you take pride in the details, enjoy being part of a team, and love making someone feel at home, we’d love to welcome you to 1799.


The Harpeth Hotel is a part of The Curio Collection by Hilton. It is historic Franklins' only downtown Hotel, and is just 30 minutes from Nashville and Music City!
