Full-Time | Reports to Executive Chef & Culinary Director
About Us300 Social House is Cincinnati's premier private members' club — four floors of elevated hospitality bringing together co-working, dining, entertainment, and one-of-a-kind experiences for our members.
Trecento is our public-facing restaurant — a Cincinnati destination known for refined cuisine, warm service, and food that gets people talking.
Together, they represent the standard we set for hospitality in our city. We are hiring a chef who will help us raise that bar.
The Opportunity:
We are looking for a chef to lead the kitchens of both 300 Social House and Trecento — working shoulder-to-shoulder with our Executive Chef & Culinary Director to shape, refine, and execute the menus that define our brand.
This is a rare seat. You'll run the line, mentor the team, and take center stage at some of Cincinnati's most anticipated culinary moments — weekly Member dinners, wine-pairing parties, and marquee club events throughout the year.
If you have spent years earning your stripes in Cincinnati fine dining and are ready to lead — not just cook — this is your seat.
What You'll Do:
Partner with the Executive Chef & Culinary Director on menu development, seasonal changeovers, and creative direction across both venues.
Lead the kitchen team from open through service to a white-glove close every shift— setting the tone, standards, and energy the entire team follows.
Execute weekly Member dinners, wine parties, and major club events with the polish and presence they deserve.
Build, coach, and retain a kitchen team that mirrors your standards and shares your love of the craft.
Own food cost, labor, purchasing, and day-to-day kitchen operations across both properties.
Uphold uncompromising standards for quality, consistency, cleanliness, and safety.
Represent the culinary program to members, guests, and the wider Cincinnati hospitality community
What We're Looking For:
Significant fine dining experience in or around Cincinnati. You know this city — its palate, its purveyors, and the standard our guests expect.
Proven leadership. You’ve run a kitchen, not just a station.
The ability to lead a full-service arc — the calm prep, the push, the polish. Open to close, every time.
Strong menu development chops and a distinct culinary point of view — with the humility to build within a shared vision.
A hospitality-first mindset. No egos. You're here for the team, the guest, and the craft.
Steady under pressure. Sharp in the details. Generous with your knowledge.
Culinary degree or equivalent professional experience.
ServSafe certified (or willing to obtain).
The CultureWe believe hospitality is a team sport. The kitchen at the Social House and Trecento is collaborative, respectful, and standards-driven — no yelling, no politics, no egos. We lead with respect, and we compete with ourselves, not each other. If you lift the people around you, you will thrive here.
Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
Performance bonus tied to venue and culinary program goals
Health, dental, and vision benefits
Paid time off
Continued education and industry event stipend
