Regional Culinary Director — Greater New York City

FTK Hospitality is conducting a confidential search on behalf of one of our most exciting growth-stage clients — a high-profile  inspired brand with a loyal following, a stunning aesthetic, and serious momentum across the North East , SE markets. 

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior BOH leadership role at a brand that does it all — full-service dining, a standout brunch program, artisan bakery, and a thriving to-go business. If you've led kitchens where the pastry case matters as much as the dinner menu, keep reading. What You'll Own:
• Multi-unit BOH oversight across NY, NJ & CT
• Culinary standards, menu execution & seasonal rollouts
• Food cost, labor, COGS & P&L accountability
• Team development — hiring, coaching & succession
• Vendor relationships & supply chain strategy

What We're Looking For:
• 5+ years progressive culinary leadership
• 3+ years in a multi-unit or regional role
• Proven experience in a hybrid full-service model — dine-in, brunch, bakery & to-go
• Strong financial acumen (you read a P&L, you don't just cook to one)
• Bilingual English/Spanish a significant plus
• Based in or willing to commute throughout the greater NYC metro

This brand is growing — fast. They're looking for a leader who brings energy, mentorship, and operational rigor, and who can protect the culture that makes this concept special.

Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. All inquiries are held in strict confidence.
