Location: Republic Chophouse — Green Bay, WI

About Republic Chophouse

Republic Chophouse is an independent, owner-operated urban steakhouse in Green Bay. Single location, no corporate group behind us — the chef runs the kitchen day-to-day alongside our GM, with direct access to the owner.


The Role

We're looking for a Head Chef to lead our kitchen day-to-day. The job comes down to three things: order the product, cook the product, and count the product. You own purchasing and vendor relationships. You run the line and hold the pass every service. You count what comes in, what goes out, and what's on the shelf so we hit our food-cost target every period.

This is a hands-on role — you cook, you expo, you set the pace every night. You own the BOH team, which means hiring, coaching, reviewing performance, and letting people go when it comes to that. You'll work side-by-side with the GM on the floor every day, and directly with the owner on menu, pricing, and the bigger-picture calls. Good fit for a strong sous chef ready to run their own kitchen, or a head chef looking for a stable independent home.


What You'll Do

•         Order the product — own vendor relationships, place orders to par, receive and inspect every delivery.

•         Cook the product — lead the line, expo, and cook stations as needed.

•         Count the product — weekly inventory, track waste, reconcile food cost every period.

•         Own the menu with the owner — steak program, features, specials, pricing.

•         Partner with the GM daily on service, staffing, and floor-to-kitchen communication.

•         Hire, train, schedule, and develop line cooks, prep cooks, and expeditors.

•         Conduct performance reviews and handle corrective action and terminations when needed.

•         Butcher and portion proteins in-house.

•         Run daily line checks and pre-shift meetings.

•         Maintain sanitation, food safety, and health-code compliance.

•         Keep the kitchen — equipment, walk-ins, storage — clean and in working order.


What We're Looking For

•         3+ years in a lead kitchen role (Sous Chef, Head Chef, Chef de Cuisine, or Kitchen Manager) in a scratch, full-service restaurant.

•         Steakhouse or upscale-casual experience strongly preferred. Butchery skills a plus.

•         Proven track record placing orders to par, running weekly inventory, and hitting food-cost targets.

•         Hands-on leader who can teach, correct, review performance, and make the hard calls on hiring and terminations.

•         Current ServSafe Manager certification (or willing to obtain within 60 days — we pay for it).

•         Available nights, weekends, and holidays.

•         Able to stand for 10+ hours, lift 50 lbs, and work in a hot kitchen.


What We Offer

•         Salary: $65,000 – $75,000, based on experience.

•         401(k) with match: Eligible after 90 days. We match 3% when you contribute 6% or more.

•         Health insurance: 50/50 premium split, individual or family, HSA available.

•         Training on us: ServSafe, CPR, wine, and meat product training — all paid.

•         Tuition reimbursement: Up to $500/semester for hospitality, culinary, or business courses.

•         25% employee dining discount.
Compensation: $65,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?

  • Alcohol or other substance use disorder (not currently using drugs illegally)
  • Autoimmune disorder, for example, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS
  • Blind or low vision
  • Cancer (past or present)
  • Cardiovascular or heart disease

  • Partial or complete paralysis (any cause)
  • Pulmonary or respiratory conditions, for example, tuberculosis, asthma, emphysema
