You will inspire and lead those eager to share their love for cooking and transform others into skilled chefs. If you are driven by a sense of purpose and a craving for shaping the future of food, join us on our mission to build a better food system.

  • Perform line checks, assess readiness of food, anticipate needs, and manage potential waste to ensure seamless service.

  • Introduce and test food preparation techniques that enhance kitchen efficiency, and remain open to innovative systems and processes.
  • Uphold stringent kitchen operations, including storage, labeling, preparation, and safety protocols, ensuring compliance with health standards and guidelines.

ABOUT NAKED FARMER:

Born during a global pandemic, Naked Farmer quickly adapted, delivering fresh food directly from farm to doorstep. Our ethos is founded on resilience, transparency, and telling the story of the farmers behind our local food supply. With a commitment to becoming 100% locally-sourced, we are now embarking on an expansion phase, opening new locations and furthering our mission of transparency in sourcing and cooking while supporting local farmers, communities, and chefs. Currently operating six restaurants in Tampa Bay and South Florida, we are in the process of adding six more across the state over the next 18 months.

And yes, all employees enjoy complimentary Naked Farmer meals every day—don't miss out on the sweet potatoes.

Join us as we build the future of food together.
