Executive Chef (Head of Culinary Operations)

About the Role:
Doha is a city where hospitality and culinary excellence define everyday experiences, and at The Farm Girl Cooks Catering & Kitchen W.L.L., we bring that same standard into every dish we produce. We specialize in premium catering and high-quality meal production, blending creativity, consistency, and operational excellence at scale.

We are looking for an Executive Chef (Head of Culinary Operations) who will take full ownership of our kitchen and culinary direction. This is not just a cooking role—you will be leading the entire culinary operation, shaping menus, managing production systems, and building a high-performing kitchen team. You will be the driving force behind food quality, consistency, and innovation across all our services.

Why Work With Us?

The Environment:
Our central kitchen in Doha is built for high-performance food production. We focus on efficiency, cleanliness, and structure while maintaining a creative and professional culinary environment.

Leadership Autonomy:
We believe great chefs should lead, not just execute. You will have full ownership of kitchen operations, menu direction, and culinary standards from day one.

Growth Opportunity:
This is a key leadership role in a growing catering business. As the company expands, you will have the opportunity to build and scale your own culinary systems, teams, and concepts.

Operational Support:
You will work closely with operations and management teams who understand kitchen demands and support structured, professional execution.

Key Responsibilities:

Culinary Leadership:
Lead all kitchen operations, ensuring smooth daily production, high-quality output, and consistent food standards across all products.

Menu Development & Innovation:
Design, test, and refine menus for catering, meal prep, and events. Continuously improve offerings based on quality, cost, and customer feedback.

Team Management:
Recruit, train, and lead kitchen staff. Build a disciplined, motivated, and efficient culinary team with clear standards and accountability.

Food Quality & Standards:
Maintain strict quality control, hygiene, and food safety standards across all production processes.

Cost & Inventory Management:
Oversee food costing, supplier coordination, inventory control, and waste reduction strategies.

Production Efficiency:
Ensure smooth kitchen workflows, optimized prep schedules, and scalable production systems for large-volume output.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience:
Proven experience as an Executive Chef, Head Chef, or Senior Sous Chef in catering, banqueting, or high-volume kitchen environments.

Leadership Ability:
Strong experience managing kitchen teams, with the ability to enforce standards while building a positive and productive culture.

Operational Thinking:
You understand kitchens as systems—not just cooking spaces. You can structure workflows, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

Culinary Skills:
Strong foundation in diverse cuisines, menu scaling, and production cooking for large volumes.

Mindset:
You are disciplined, structured, and solution-oriented. You balance creativity with cost control and operational reality.
