Job description

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Chef-Founder who can own both product development and kitchen operations from day one. You’ll lead recipe innovation, manage production, and help shape our culinary identity as we scale. This role demands a mix of creativity, process, and entrepreneurial drive.

You’ll start hands-on — developing recipes, cooking, setting standards — and gradually build your own kitchen team as operations expand.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, test, and refine recipes suited for modern Indian tastes and nutritional balance
  • Run daily kitchen operations and oversee production quality
  • Work closely with the founding team and nutritionists on menu planning and cost structures
  • Standardize recipes and create scalable SOPs for future kitchens
  • Innovate based on customer feedback, market trends, and operational feasibility
  • Manage ingredient sourcing, inventory, and vendor relations
  • Ensure hygiene, efficiency, and consistency across all kitchen functions

Who You Are

  • Graduate from a recognized culinary school
  • 4+ years of professional experience in multi-cuisine or modern Indian kitchens
  • Passionate about developing new dishes and optimizing for nutrition, taste, and freshness
  • Capable of managing a kitchen independently while experimenting and iterating
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — hands-on, self-driven, and excited to grow something from zero
  • Knowledge of food costing, preservation, and production scaling is a plus
  • What You Get

  • Co-Founder title and a small equity stake in the company
  • Base salary to start, with potential for significant upside as we scale
  • Freedom to create, experiment, and define our product direction
  • The chance to shape the culinary foundation of a fast-growing food-tech brand
  • Create a job alert for this search
