About the Role:
We are seeking a skilled and quick-thinking Private Chef to join a busy family household in Newport Beach.

•Prepare a variety of meals and snacks on demand, often with short notice.
•Cook in a fast-paced, order-style format while maintaining food quality and presentation.
•Coordinate meal prep so that all items are ready and served at the same time.
•Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient kitchen space.
•Communicate with family members and staff to ensure preferences and dietary needs are met.
•Occasionally source ingredients or handle grocery pickups (reliable transportation required).
•Adapt quickly to changing schedules or requests throughout the day.
••Maintain cleanliness and organization in the kitchen.
What We're Looking For:
•Prior experience as a chef or short order/line cook, preferably in a high-volume environment.
•Able to cook quickly without sacrificing quality.
•Comfortable with informal settings and flexible meal preferences.
•Excellent multitasking and time management skills.
•Professional, respectful, and responsive to feedback.
•Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
•Expertise in Indian, Chinese, and other ethnic cuisines.
•Knowledge of dietary restrictions and preferences.
••Proven experience as a personnel or restaurant chef (Michelin or fine-dining experience is a plus).
