Executive Chef
Onsen is a Japanese inspired bathhouse and restaurant in San Francisco. Our food program is designed to complement time in the baths with thoughtful, seasonal cooking that is grounded in technique, restraint, and comfort. We’re looking for an Executive Chef to lead the kitchen and help shape the next phase of Onsen’s restaurant.
This is a hands on role for a chef who enjoys working in a small kitchen, building systems, and creating food that fits into a larger guest experience.

- Create private dining room menus for both communal seated meals and food station formats
- Oversee day to day kitchen operations including prep, service, and execution
- Build and maintain cleaning schedules and organizational systems for the kitchen and dry storage
- Manage dish flow and oversee the dishwasher including training and day to day standards
- Build, manage, and sustain our fermentation program including misos, vinegars, pickles, preserves, and lacto fermentation
- Lead and train a small kitchen team with clear expectations and a calm, focused approach
- Collaborate closely with ownership on menu development, operations, and private dining execution
Who This Is For
- A chef who is highly organized and comfortable building systems from the ground up
- Someone with a strong interest in fermentation and preservation
- A cook who values restraint, balance, and consistency over excess
- Someone who thrives in a small, collaborative kitchen environment
Details
- Full time, salaried position
- Evening and weekend availability required
- Compensation commensurate with experience
To apply, please send a resume and a brief note about yourself and your cooking background.
