Full job description

Head Chef (breakfast / lunch / brunch) – Ivy. Coffee Shop - About Ivy.

Ivy. is more than just your daily caffeine fix — it’s a thoughtfully designed coffee shop built around quality, style, and community. Our first location on Toronto’s waterfront has established a strong foundation rooted in consistency, intentional service, and a clear brand identity.

With our second location on Duncan Street, we are expanding into a more complete food and hospitality offering, bringing together exceptional coffee, a focused food program, office catering, and intimate events in a highly visible downtown location connected directly to a busy office tower and lobby.

Unlike many restaurant kitchens, our goal is not to serve an extensive menu or operate late into the evening. We believe in doing fewer things exceptionally well.

We believe this is one of those rare opportunities in hospitality — a chance to lead, create, and build something special while working within a more predictable daytime schedule, a focused menu, and a quality-driven environment. It's the kind of role that doesn't come along very often in our industry.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Head Chef to lead and take ownership of the kitchen at our Duncan Street location.

This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys building systems, mentoring a small team, and executing a refined menu at a consistently high level.

Initially, you will work alongside a lean team of 1–3 people, helping establish the kitchen standards, recipes, systems, and culture that will support the long-term growth of the business.

As Ivy. continues to grow, you will play a key role in shaping the future direction of our food program.

Why This Role Is Different

This position offers something increasingly rare in the hospitality industry:

Primarily daytime hours, with regular service focused on breakfast and lunch
Most days finishing around 4:00 PM
A focused and manageable menu designed around quality and consistency
A professional office-building environment with predictable guest patterns
Limited late nights compared to traditional restaurant operations
Direct access to office catering opportunities through the building above
The opportunity to build a food program without the pressures of high-volume restaurant service

We are intentionally creating a kitchen culture that values craftsmanship, organization, consistency, and hospitality over volume.

What You'll Be Working On

A focused breakfast and lunch menu
Weekend brunch service
Office catering for the tenants of a 10-storey office building directly above the café
Small private events and gatherings
Seasonal menu development and refinement
Building efficient systems for a quality-driven food operation

Key ResponsibilitiesKitchen Leadership & Operations

Lead daily kitchen operations and service
Establish and maintain kitchen standards and systems
Ensure consistency in food quality, presentation, and execution
Manage scheduling and labour planning
Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient kitchen environment

Menu Development & Cost Control

Develop menu offerings aligned with the Ivy. brand
Create and standardize recipes and procedures
Manage food costing and portion controls
Continuously improve operational efficiency and profitability
Develop seasonal features and catering offerings

Purchasing & Inventory Management

Manage ordering and supplier relationships
Monitor inventory levels and stock rotation
Control food costs and minimize waste
Ensure readiness for daily operations, catering, and events

Catering & Events

Lead execution of office catering programs
Create systems that support scalable catering growth
Assist with event planning and food execution
Ensure consistency across all service formats

Team Development

Recruit, train, and develop kitchen team members
Create a positive, professional, and accountable work environment
Develop SOPs and training systems
Ensure compliance with food safety and health regulations

Qualifications

3+ years of leadership experience as a Head Chef, Sous Chef, or similar role
Experience in cafés, brunch concepts, catering, or casual upscale dining
Strong menu development and food costing experience
Knowledge of labour management, inventory control, and purchasing
Excellent organizational and communication skills
Strong leadership and ownership mentality
Food Handler Certification

What We're Looking For

Someone excited to build and grow with a young Toronto brand
A chef who values quality over quantity
Strong attention to detail and consistency
A leader who enjoys developing people and systems
Creativity balanced with operational discipline
A positive, solutions-focused mindset

What You'll Get

Primarily daytime hours with a predictable schedule
Significant influence over menus, systems, and kitchen culture
Direct collaboration with ownership
The opportunity to shape and grow a food program from the ground up
Career growth opportunities as Ivy. expands
Competitive compensation based on experience
Staff meals, coffee, and in-store perks
