Executive Chef-The Pirates' House

Executive Chef-The Pirates’ House

Located in the historic district of Savannah, The Pirates' House is a locally owned, high-volume restaurant seating over 400 guests.

With a fully equipped kitchen and two cook lines our expansive kitchen can service the eight dining rooms and four banquet rooms seamlessly.

Serving ala carte lunch and dinner 7 days a week, we also offer a Southern-Style Lunch buffet daily.

Our private banquet rooms host a variety of group events, including motor coach tour groups, civic groups, wedding rehearsals, student

groups, family occasions and more.

The Executive Chef is responsible for all kitchen functions including food purchasing, preparation and maintenance of quality standards,

training of employees in methods of cooking, preparation, plate presentation, portion, cost control, and sanitation and cleanliness.

The ideal candidate will have great organizational skills, enjoy interacting with the team, assist in service as necessary, delegate tasks and supervise

a kitchen crew of 50 individuals. While there are administrative duties, this is a hands on position and you will have to COOK!

This is a great opportunity for an up and coming Chef to earn their Chops! In addition to our regular daily business of 300-800 guests daily, we accommodate

multiple banquet groups of 20-175 guests. You have the opportunity to express your creativity by writing your own menus and features and present them to the team.

This job is not for the faint of heart... and while you will have a flexible schedule, you will be expected to be present and participate when there are major parties or events.

We offer 3 special holiday buffets on Thanksgiving, Easter and Mother's Day. These are Grand Events where we utilize our largest banquet room to display carving stations, seafood stations, salads, hot entrees and desserts.
