Executive Chef
The position of Kaibo’s Executive Chef is the kitchen equivalent of a CEO. The Executive Chef is responsible for all of the daily operations of the kitchen. He or she must maintain control of the kitchen and the people who work there so that the food that leaves the kitchen meets the requirements. The Executive Chef serves as a role model and mentor to the team of chefs in both Kaibo’s signature restaurant “Upstairs”, and the high volume “Kaibo Beach” kitchen. A true vision, understanding of leadership and a professional demeanor must be maintained at all times.
Kaibo is a large independently owned and operated Beach Bar & Grill, Fine Dining Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Marina and Service Station situated on the North Side of Grand Cayman. We have worked hard to bring the standard of our food, service and location to an overall high over the last few years. We are very proud of what we have achieved not only in the quality of food and service but in our general image and want to keep this momentum as we change chefs.

Ordering Supplies. The Executive Chef must ensure that all supplies are ordered, stocked, and properly stored. This includes all food items, dishes and utensils, cleaning products, cooking supplies, and any other item necessary for kitchen functioning.

Accounting. Executive Chefs are often responsible for keeping track of kitchen expenses, reporting to the owner what is spent and what is needed for the kitchen. Information about the expenses incurred by the kitchen must be accurately tracked and reported.
Staffing. The Executive Chef is responsible for hiring and firing kitchen and sometimes wait staff. He or she is responsible for making sure the kitchen is adequately staffed in all areas, and that employees receive the necessary training to ensure quality culinary dishes are produced. The Executive Chef assigns duties to his or her staff, such as food preparation tasks, or assigned line positions.
Cooking. Surprisingly, cooking is often the part of the job where the Executive Chef spends the least amount of his time. Depending on the number of additional staff in the kitchen, an Executive Chef may cook only on special occasions.
