We're looking for a chef who shares that passion and can lead a high-performing kitchen while maintaining the standards that have made Grassa Gramma one of Louisville's most celebrated restaurants.

• 100% company-paid family medical insurance (employee, employee + spouse, employee + children, or full family Bronze health plan)
• 100% company-paid family dental and vision insurance
• Three weeks of paid vacation to start, with additional PTO earned based on tenure
• Two weeks of paid maternity/paternity leave in addition to accrued PTO

What You'll Do

• Lead all back-of-house operations and kitchen staff.
• Schedule labor to budget while maintaining exceptional service standards.
• Manage ordering, inventory, and food cost using MarketMan.
• Maintain food cost goals of approximately 28%.
• Recruit, hire, train, coach, and develop the culinary team.
• Ensure consistent recipe execution, presentation, and food quality.

A Unique Opportunity

Grassa Gramma is more than a restaurant—it's an experience. Guests feel like they've stepped into an Italian piazza, and our culinary leaders are part of that experience. We expect our Executive Chef to be visible, approachable, and willing to visit tables, engage with guests, and serve as an ambassador for the restaurant.

Our menu is well-established and highly successful. This role is less about constantly reinventing the menu and more about executing at an exceptional level, developing a strong culinary team, maintaining high standards, and making thoughtful improvements over time.

If you're a hands-on leader who believes exceptional hospitality starts in the kitchen and wants to be part of one of Louisville's most unique dining destinations, we'd love to hear from you.
