Dear [MR/MS] [RECIPIENT’S NAME],

I am writing this to express my interest for the vacant Executive Chef position as advertised on a website called [JobHirings.com]. Your restaurant is well-known for its high-quality food and services. That is the reason why I believe that I fit best to be in your business because our priorities are the same. I strongly prioritize quality over quantity, for I think that if the quality is excellent, the quantity will always follow. That is the principle that I sincerely followed for the [five years] of my experience in the same position.

I hold a degree in [culinary arts] in which helped me understand the essence of cooking and serving in excellence. During my employment in [Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants], I made sure that the food and equipment are sanitized and safe before commanding everyone to operate for the day. I managed inventories, recipes, and other supplies in the kitchen. I coordinated with the director for the regular staff meeting to regard kitchen issues and failures. I also trained all staff in the food preparation processes and plating standards to ensure high-quality cuisines and presentation. In [AJ's Fine Foods], I designed daily menus for the customers. I monitored kitchen staff performance and continuously evaluated and advised them on what to do to improve. I also sourced ingredients to ensure that they are high-quality yet sustainable and organic.

I believe that my mentioned experiences are enough proof that I am qualified for the position. If not, I can discuss further on the specifications as well as the duties and responsibilities of an Executive Chef. You can contact me at any time of your availability through my contact information below.

Respectfully,
