HOMES Brewery is a vibrant hub for food, beverage, and hospitality in Ann Arbor, featuring a nationally acclaimed brewpub, production brewery, coffee roastery, events campus, and catering operation. We pride ourselves on innovation, approachability, and an ever-evolving culinary identity rooted in flavor, creativity, and community.

We’re looking for an Executive Chef with a strategic edge, a hands-on leader who loves running a busy kitchen but also thrives in shaping vision, developing teams, and elevating multi-concept culinary operations. This is your chance to drive creativity, inspire talent, and influence the future of HOMES’ food program across multiple venues and experiences.

Who You Are

  • A culinary leader who blends creativity with operational excellence.
  • A strategic thinker who sees the big picture and executes with precision.
  • A coach and mentor who thrives on developing people, systems, and culture.
  • A hospitality-driven operator who believes that great food, great teams, and great experiences are inseparable.
  • Someone who finds energy in doing work that matters : building teams, shaping food experiences, and continually growing your craft.
  • A leader who thrives when you have room to make thoughtful decisions, express your style, and run an organized, steady kitchen where people can do their best work.
  • A focus on impact over hours - meaningful results and tangible outcomes, not just time spent.
  • Someone who craves flexibility and a balanced work / home life.

What You’ll Do

Menu Development & Culinary Strategy

  • Partner with leadership to shape the culinary vision across HOMES’ multiple concepts, seasonal rollouts, and events.
  • Lead creative menu development, recipe testing, and plating standards to ensure consistency, innovation, and alignment with our brand identity.
  • Stay ahead of trends, sourcing inspiration from global cuisines and emerging flavors, particularly in Asian and fusion-inspired dishes.
  • Collaborate with beverage and hospitality teams to create harmonious food and drink experiences.
  • Team Leadership & Talent Growth

  • Build, coach, and lead a high-performing kitchen team, empowering chefs and cooks to grow in skill and leadership.
  • Foster a culture aligned with HOMES’ 4H values : Honest, Helpful, Honed, and Happy.
  • Establish training programs, mentorship pathways, and systems that create structure and predictability while supporting creativity and self-expression.
  • Model professionalism, empathy, and positivity in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • Operations & Systems

  • Oversee kitchen operations across multiple venues, ensuring safety, quality, consistency, and efficiency.
  • Collaborate on inventory management, ordering, and food cost control.
  • Implement and maintain systems, workflows, and routines that create stability and accountability without stifling creativity.
  • Ensure seamless communication between back-of-house and front-of-house teams to deliver outstanding guest experiences.
  • Collaboration & Leadership

  • Act as a bridge between kitchen operations and company leadership, contributing to strategic decisions, concept development, and brand growth.
  • Participate in creative sessions, seasonal menu rollouts, and special events.
  • Advocate for your team and provide input on tools, training, and processes to elevate kitchen performance and satisfaction.
  • Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional kitchen experience, including 2+ years in a leadership role.
  • Proven success managing high-volume operations with multi-concept oversight.
  • Strong culinary skills, creativity, and a passion for flavor-driven cuisine, especially Asian or fusion-inspired styles.
  • Experience in team development, mentorship, recipe costing, and operational systems.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • A passion for hospitality, creativity, growth, and continuous improvement.
  • Benefits

  • Competitive salary with growth opportunities
