Chef de Partie — Birdsong

Birdsong is a two Michelin–starred restaurant in San Francisco, where Chef Chris Bleidorn’s cooking explores heritage cuisine with heart, craft, and a deep sense of place—grounded in whole animal cookery and thoughtful sourcing.

Now we’re looking for a Chef de Partie who’s ready to take ownership of a station and contribute to a kitchen that values craft, consistency, and teamwork. This is a role for someone who’s hungry to learn, proud of the fundamentals, and motivated by the quiet satisfaction of doing things the right way—every day.

The role As Chef de Partie, you’ll be responsible for mise en place and service execution for your station, while supporting the broader success of the tasting menu. Our dining room is integrated with the kitchen, so chefs are part of the guest experience—present, professional, and connected to the food we serve.

This isn’t a “clock in, cook, clock out” position. It’s a place to build real mastery: organization, repetition, refinement, and growth over time.

You’ll be responsible for :

Managing and organizing your station (prep, tools, par levels, cleanliness)

Executing service at a high level—calm, precise, consistent

Upholding Birdsong’s standards across the full tasting menu, not just your station

Maintaining clean work habits and strong attention to detail

Collaborating closely with the team to improve systems and flow

Engaging with guests when appropriate, with confidence and professionalism

You might be a fit if you :

Are humble, hard-working, and genuinely motivated to improve

Have 1+ years in high-end kitchens (Michelin experience preferred)

Want stability and growth—we’re looking for someone who plans to stay and evolve with the team

Have strong technical fundamentals and comfort with professional equipment

Bring a high level of ownership, organization, and accountability

Display a willingness to learn from all team members, regardless of position, age, or background

Maintain professional standards (California Food Handler’s certification required; manager’s certification a plus)

What we value

Craft without ego. Urgency without panic. Cleanliness, repetition, and respect.

A team that communicates clearly, supports one another, and takes pride in getting better—service after service.

Benefits Birdsong provides comprehensive healthcare benefits, 401(k) options, commuter benefits, and dining discounts.

Application process If these fundamentals resonate with you, please submit your resume and cover letter. The interview process includes an in‑person meeting and may include a one‑day work trial.
