Job Description

RHEA Recruitment, a recruitment agency specializing in high-end hospitality and gastronomy, is looking for:

HEAD CHEF (M/F) – Paris

Premium establishment – Contemporary gastronomy & cocktail artistry

RHEA is supporting an exceptional venue in the search for its Head Chef, a true creator of culinary experiences and the guardian of a refined gastronomic identity, in harmony with the artistic universe of the venue.

We are looking for an inspired, demanding personality capable of embodying a high level of precision, creativity, and leadership.


🌟 Your mission: elevate the experience

Reporting to the Operations Director and working closely with the Artistic & Concept Director, you will be responsible for the entire culinary identity of the venue.

Creation & Excellence

  • Design menus and gastronomic experiences aligned with the DNA of the establishment
  • Mastery of cooking techniques, textures, and presentation
  • Creative, balanced, and elegant proposals suited to a demanding clientele

Organization & Performance

  • Rigorous management of stock, purchasing, and costs
  • Monitoring key performance indicators (guest satisfaction, profitability, operational quality)
  • Smooth coordination with front-of-house and cocktail bar teams

Management & Team Development

  • Supervision of a small brigade: one Chef de Partie and one senior commis chef
  • Recruitment, training, team development, and daily leadership
  • Creation of a structured, supportive, and excellence-driven work environment

Hygiene & Standards

  • Strict application of HACCP standards
  • Meticulous maintenance of kitchen spaces and equipment
  • Full compliance with quality standards and internal procedures

🍽️ Your playground

  • Spacious, fully equipped kitchen located in the basement
  • Storage areas allowing efficient and well-anticipated prep
  • Service from Tuesday to Saturday
  • Last food orders around 11:00 PM
  • Evening activity focused on premium sharing finger food
  • Volume: 100 to 260 covers on weekend evenings (partially cocktail-only service)
  • Three menus recently created with a Chef recommended by a Michelin-starred Chef

👥 Context & start date

The current Head Chef, who has been in the role for 3 years, has chosen to pursue a career change. A temporary Chef (fixed-term contract) is currently ensuring the transition and has co-created the new menus. He will leave mid-April for an already planned project.

A freelance chef may ensure short-term continuity if needed, but the goal is now to recruit a Head Chef who will sustainably carry the culinary identity of the venue.


💼 Package

  • Fixed salary: €48K (adjustable for an outstanding profile)
  • Executive status
  • Working days: Tuesday to Saturday (no split shifts, well-managed schedule)
  • Days off: Sunday & Monday
  • Benefits: staff meals, laundry service, employee perks on group products and services

Start date: ASAP, in a well-structured and supportive environment
