Company description

The Mill Glen Arbor is seeking an executive chef to help design, build out and execute a 47- seat café/restaurant on the Crystal River.  Formerly a flour mill built in the 1800s and recording studio in the 1970s, this iconic building has lived many lives and is currently undergoing a major restoration for its next one.

The Mill will reopen its doors with an all day café, gallery/museum and lodging - with a focus on taking care of its guests with the highest regard while creating memorable experiences. The Mill will offer a relaxing and refined atmosphere for discerning guests through design, community and wellbeing principles.

As we begin the final stages of finishing the renovation, we are in search of a culinary professional who identifies with the philosophy of hospitality we seek to redefine. We believe in creating space for the service worker to shine - a reshaping of the guest perspective.

Dining at The Mill will be an experience built by people who are driven by a passion to create. We plan to provide thoughtful dishes that are seasonally driven in an unmatched setting. We are seeking a chef with a strong point of view, commitment to quality & local farms, and a concept that will bring the space alive.
