300 Social House & Trecento | Cincinnati, OH

Full-Time | Reports to Executive Chef & Culinary Director

300 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.

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.

• 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

• 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).

We 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
• Meals during service
• Continued education and industry event stipend
• Real visibility in Cincinnati's hospitality community
