Private Chef (Shui Food Group – Concierge Dining Division)

Private Chef (Shui Food Group – Concierge Dining Division)

We are seeking a Private Chef to join our food group’s Concierge Dining Division, delivering personalized, high-quality in-home dining experiences for a select group of private clients.

This role blends restaurant-level systems with elevated in-home service, ideal for a chef who values efficiency, discretion, and consistent execution in a private setting.

You will primarily prep and cook from our central kitchen, then finish and serve meals at client residences, ensuring a seamless, refined dining experience.

How We Work

Our concierge model is built on efficiency behind the scenes and simplicity at the table.

Each service day is structured as a full cooking day—you’ll begin in our central kitchen handling prep, batch cooking, and mise en place, then transition to the client’s home to finish, plate, and serve. This allows for a streamlined workflow while maintaining a high-quality, in-home dining experience.

Roughly 90% of the work is completed in the kitchen, with final execution done onsite.

We focus on real, whole-food cooking with clear nutrition intent. Meals are clean, thoughtful, and repeatable—built on high-quality ingredients, smart prep systems, and consistent execution.

You’ll receive direct client feedback, allowing you to refine menus and continuously elevate both food and service.

What You’ll Do

• Execute full service days: prep in central kitchen → finish and serve at client homes
• Prepare and batch cook high-quality meals efficiently within each service day
• Design weekly menus aligned with client preferences, health goals, and lifestyle
• Source premium ingredients (organic, specialty, and seasonal)

• Coordinate schedules across multiple clients seamlessly
• Accommodate family-style dining, children’s meals, and dietary preferences
• Support occasional private dinners or small gatherings (4–10 guests)

Schedule & Structure

• Flexible structure (part-time or full-time depending on fit)
