Chef de Cuisine – The Living Room
Location: Dunedin or Wesley Chapel

This isn’t just another chef job. This is your chance to lead something extraordinary.

The Living Room—a well-known and loved brand in the Tampa Bay area—is entering a bold new chapter. Under the visionary leadership of Executive Chef Aaron Coffey, who brings world-class pedigree from his time at the three Michelin-starred Inn at Little Washington, we are completely reimagining our food, service, and standards. Our goal? To become the benchmark for upscale casual dining in the Southeast—and we’re building the team to match.

We are seeking an experienced Chef de Cuisine who is ready to lead from the front, inspire a team, and deliver dishes that are bold, elegant, and unforgettable. You will work directly under Chef Coffey to execute a new culinary vision and uphold the highest standards of excellence, consistency, and culture in the kitchen.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the daily operations of the kitchen with precision, integrity, and energy

  • Execute and evolve our menu in collaboration with Chef Coffey and the culinary team

  • Train, mentor, and inspire a team of cooks, preps, and sous chefs—leading by example

  • Maintain the highest standards of food quality, consistency, cleanliness, and organization

  • Manage inventory, ordering, prep, and food cost in alignment with company goals

  • Uphold our culture of accountability, growth, and passion for the craft

  • Be present and engaged during service—communicating with FOH and BOH constantly

  • Ensure that The Living Room’s food is talked about, remembered, and returned to

Who You Are

  • A seasoned culinarian with at least 5 years of experience in high-volume, chef-driven restaurants

  • A leader who thrives in the heat of service and knows how to bring a team together

  • A coach, not a commander—able to elevate those around you through training and support

  • Detail-oriented and quality-obsessed, with a deep love for scratch cooking and bold flavors

  • Hungry to grow, contribute, and leave a legacy on a rising brand with serious ambition

  • Flexible, honest, kind—but with incredibly high standards and expectations

Why Join Us

  • Be part of a real culinary team with purpose, passion, and direction

  • Work directly with Chef Aaron Coffey and a leadership group that’s committed to doing things the right way

  • Enjoy competitive pay, a great schedule, and a chance to build something lasting

  • Grow your skills in a culture that values meritocracy, mentorship, and creative freedom

  • Help define the future of one of Florida’s most exciting restaurant brands

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.
