Executive Chef - Dual Concepts (Dempsey)

Introduction

Ebb & Flow Group is driven by the belief that dining should move people. Beyond restaurants, we create immersive experiences where food, atmosphere, and storytelling come together with intention and finesse. With a growing portfolio of over 10 concepts across Singapore and ambitious expansion ahead, we continue to shape spaces that are both creatively bold and commercially intelligent.

We are seeking an Executive Chef to oversee two concepts in Dempsey. This is a strategic leadership role responsible for defining the culinary identity of both brands, driving operational excellence, and building high-performing teams. Beyond the pass, this role shapes culture, performance, and long-term culinary direction.

What You'll Do

Culinary Leadership & Brand Direction

  • Oversee culinary strategy and execution across two distinct concepts.
  • Define and evolve each brand's culinary identity while ensuring commercial viability.
  • Collaborate with R&D, marketing, and leadership on seasonal campaigns, menu innovation, and brand storytelling.
  • Maintain strong creative direction while aligning with business goals.

Operations & Performance

  • Oversee kitchen operations across both venues, ensuring consistency, quality, and efficiency.
  • Establish and maintain SOPs, recipe documentation, plating standards, and portion controls.
  • Drive food costing, GP targets, budgeting, and inventory management.
  • Review P&L statements and implement strategies to improve profitability.
  • Lead procurement strategy, supplier partnerships, and cost negotiations.
  • Ensure compliance with food safety, hygiene, and regulatory standards.
  • Optimise productivity, waste control, and operational systems.

Team & Culture

  • Recruit, mentor, and develop Head Chefs and culinary teams across both concepts.
  • Build a strong leadership bench and succession pipeline.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence.
  • Conduct regular tastings, audits, and quality reviews.
  • Lead performance evaluations and structured training programs.

Strategic Growth

  • Play a key role in future openings and group expansion initiatives.
  • Support pre-opening planning where required (kitchen design, workflow, equipment planning).
  • Contribute to culinary standards and long-term development strategy.

We're Looking for Someone who

  • Has proven experience as an Executive Chef managing multi-outlet or multi-concept operations.
  • Has strong pre-opening and scale-up experience.
  • Comes from a structured, quality-driven culinary background (Fine Dining preferred).
  • Is commercially astute with strong P&L, costing, and budgeting expertise.
  • Leads with clarity, discipline, and composure under pressure.
  • Balances creativity with operational structure.
  • Is passionate about mentoring teams and building sustainable kitchen cultures.
