Topgolf | Executive Culinary Manager
Job Description
ABOUT TOPGOLF
Topgolf is a sports entertainment company that has changed how millions of people experience golf and where you can build a serious career. Our venues are high-energy, high-volume environments where performance matters and results are visible. Every day, we bring together golf, food and beverage, events, and entertainment into one experience that keeps guests coming back.
WHAT WE’RE SEEKING
Do you think about food from the guest's first impression to the last bite? Are you as comfortable talking about food cost and labor efficiency as you are developing menus that excite people? Can you build a kitchen culture that performs under pressure and takes pride in what they put out?
We're looking for an Executive Culinary Manager who leads a culinary operation with both creativity and business discipline. Someone who develops their team drives quality and consistency at scale and brings an operator's mindset to every decision. The food here matters. It's part of the experience, not an afterthought.
If you want to lead a culinary program that people actually talk about, bring your standards here.
THE ROLE
The Executive Culinary Manager leads all culinary operations at the venue, ensuring guests receive exceptional, consistent, best-in-class dining experiences. This role requires two critical skill sets: deep culinary expertise and strong people leadership.
The Executive Culinary Manager supervises, trains, coaches, and develops the kitchen team, while also managing the full scope of culinary operations; scheduling, inventory, ordering, food and labor cost management, safety and sanitation, vendor relationships, and menu development.
As a leader of a high-energy, guest-facing venue, this role requires a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays, with availability to work extended hours during peak periods, special events, and high-volume seasons.

Drive Culinary Excellence
• Select, develop, and standardize recipes to corporate approval to ensure consistent quality
• Establish and maintain presentation techniques and quality standards
• Plan and cost menus for special events and chef-choice occasions
• Utilize culinary innovation to elevate the guest experience
Partner Across the Business
• Communicate and effectively partner with venue leadership, Home Office, and vendors
• Develop and implement action plans in response to performance opportunities
• Demonstrate Topgolf's core values: Fun, One Team, Excellence, Courage, and Caring

• Finds the right balance between production planning and adjusting to event or volume changes
• Ensures the kitchen's plans and priorities are coordinated with the broader venue Operations team
• Plans ahead to make sure critical ingredients, staffing, and resources are lined up for service and events
Ensures Accountability | Holding self and others accountable to meet commitments.
