Executive & Head Chefs

Executive Chefs Who Elevate Every Kitchen

Tribe works with some of the best Executive Chefs & Head Chefs on the market. We are proud to have them as part of our Tribe and we like to shout about them at every opportunity.

They have a true passion for the hospitality industry, their skill goes well beyond cooking and they have an in-depth understanding of what it takes to run a successful business and kitchen.

How Can We Help

Here are ways in which our Tribe of Executive & Head Chefs can help your kitchen and business.

While you search for the right permanent hire, having one of our Executive Chefs on board provides the time needed to make a well-considered decision. Rushed choices for senior positions can be costly; having a Tribe Executive Chef in place for an interim period allows your kitchen to continue running smoothly while you find the ideal candidate. Our chefs maximize kitchen potential, making it a more appealing prospect for top talent, giving you more choices in this competitive market. Once you’ve selected your permanent hire, your Tribe Executive Chef will provide an in-depth, thorough handover, setting up the new leader for success and helping them start strong.

With extensive experience, our Executive Chefs are equipped to conduct a detailed assessment of your kitchen’s operations. Whether you need a full review or an analysis of specific areas, our chefs will develop actionable steps to elevate performance. Your Tribe Executive Chef can prepare your kitchen for audits, such as EHO checks, ensuring compliance and aiming for a top score. Additionally, they can conduct stock takes and financial evaluations, helping you adjust to meet and exceed labor costs, GP, and other key metrics, bringing efficiency and precision to your operations.

Our Tribe Executive Chefs can craft menus tailored to your brand and style, handling everything from dish costing to supplier contract negotiations, if needed. Their expertise covers menu tastings, precise specifications, and thorough training sessions for your team, ensuring consistency and excellence in every dish served. By integrating seamlessly with your kitchen’s vision, they elevate the dining experience and enhance your brand’s culinary identity.

With a focus on consistency and skill development, your Tribe Executive Chef can train your team to uphold high standards across all dishes. They’re experienced in creating detailed training manuals to standardize processes and foster a collaborative kitchen environment. Our chefs also support recruitment efforts, identifying and managing talent to ensure a cohesive, motivated team that aligns with your business values and enhances overall kitchen performance.

Executive Chefs Who Elevate Every Kitchen

At Tribe, having been in hospitality ourselves, we fully understand that each and every hospitality business is unique and it’s for this reason that we will carefully select which of our senior chef team is the right one for you.

You can then meet with them and make your own decision before committing.

Words From Our Team

We carried out an anonymous survey of how our chefs and hospitality staff felt about working for us. This is what they said:

“There is a real feeling of being part of a team with Tribe, the chefs know each other, respect one another and everyone knows the standards expected to withhold the reputation of Tribe and our team”

Paul, Tribe Executive Chef

“I enjoy working for Tribe as they pay me very competitively, on-time every Friday and if I ever need paying early, they will always help me whenever possible”

Sarah, Tribe Bar Supervisor

“I feel like I am valued and listened to and I feel able to speak honestly to the team at Tribe.”

Matt, Tribe Chef
