Chef and Management Roles We Fill
CULINARY LEADERSHIP
The right kitchen leader protects food quality while controlling cost and setting the tone for the team. We recruit executive chefs and other culinary managers with experience suited to your cuisine, service model and operational needs.
RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT
From general managers to directors of operations, great managers turn standards into reliable execution. Our restaurant headhunters look for operators who can guide teams, protect the guest experience and manage results.

Why Owners Choose Cypress
BUILT BY AN OPERATOR, FOR OPERATORS
Founder Geordy Murphy has worked in restaurant, hotel and resort development and operations since 1979, including projects associated with Wolfgang Puck, Bradley Ogden and David Bouley. That experience brings an owner’s understanding of what is at stake when a critical role is vacant.
FIT BEFORE RESUMES
