Personal Chef, Raleigh

Job description:
Personal Chef (In-Home)
Do you care deeply about your craft, but also want a better way to work?
Are you someone who takes pride in creating beautiful, thoughtful food...
and
wants your work to be respected, your time valued, and your schedule sustainable?
JUST TABLE IT is hiring exceptional personal chefs in the Triangle.
We are a well-established, growing company (8+ years in business) providing in-home personal chef services and elevated, intimate dining experiences.
Our work is rooted in creating ease, joy, and gorgeous food for our clients...and in building a work environment where chefs can do their best work without burnout.
Our chefs create highly personalized menus based on each client's preferences, dietary needs, and lifestyle.
This is not restaurant cooking.
This is a thoughtful, detail-driven, in-home service where both the food
and
the experience matter.
If you're an incredible chef with strong communication skills and a high standard for your work, we'd love to have you on our team.
Immediate Opening
Monday through Friday for one primary household
Prepare dinner for two people each day (5 dinners per week)
Meals are prepared earlier in the day for the client to finish and enjoy in the evening (thoughtfulness around reheating is essential)
Handle menu planning, grocery shopping, packaging, labeling, and storing meals each cook day
Maintain a clean, organized kitchen
Follow client preferences and dietary needs closely
Communicate updates and feedback through Just Table It
Work in a quiet, unobtrusive manner within the home
This Household Requires
Strong experience with vegetarian cooking
Strict adherence to nut-free and seed-free practices
High attention to detail and awareness of cross-contamination
Growth Opportunity
As Just Table It continues to grow, this role may expand to include:
Additional client households
Multiple cookdates per day
Greater autonomy across a client portfolio
Leadership or chef/manager opportunities for the right candidate
What We're Looking For
Strong culinary skills with consistent execution
High attention to detail and pride in your work
Organized, efficient, and self-directed
Professional and respectful in a client's home
Able to work quietly and independently
Open to feedback and able to adapt menus over time
Reliable and communicative
Standards & Support
We hold a high standard for both the food we create and the experience we provide.
At the same time, we believe great chefs do their best work with strong support.
You'll have clear systems, structured communication, and guidance - so you're never left figuring things out on your own.
This is a role with autonomy
and
support.
Requirements
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Ability to independently shop and execute menus
ServSafe certified (or willing to obtain)
Up-to-date on Tdap and seasonal flu vaccinations
Must not work while ill and be comfortable with a health-conscious household
