sul is building the future of food — making personalized meals scalable through technology and automation.

We’re looking for a Head Chef to own day-to-day kitchen operations and help us build a highly consistent, efficient, and scalable food production process.

  • Maintain consistency, quality, and presentation across every meal
  • Follow and improve standardized recipes and preparation procedures
  • Accurately weigh and measure ingredients
  • Use our kitchen technology and production tools
  • Manage prep schedules, inventory, and ingredient organization
  • Reduce waste and identify opportunities to improve efficiency
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe kitchen
  • Help train and oversee additional kitchen staff as we grow

Who We’re Looking For

  • Strong cooking and kitchen fundamentals
  • Extremely organized and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable using technology and learning new systems
  • Comfortable working from precise recipes, measurements, and processes
  • Able to work independently and take ownership of kitchen operations
  • Reliable and consistent
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment
  • Interested in improving how things are done, not just following existing processes
