Do you speak both “chef” and “spreadsheet”?

SSP America is looking for a culinary professional who thrives at the intersection of food, systems, analytics, and innovation.

As an Analyst, Culinary Systems, you’ll play a key role in shaping recipe accuracy, menu profitability, nutritional compliance, and operational consistency across our restaurant portfolio in airports throughout North America. This is an ideal opportunity for a Chef, Kitchen Manager, or culinary systems professional who enjoys digging into recipe data just as much as developing great food.

You’ll collaborate closely with Culinary, Operations, and R&D teams to ensure our menus are commercially viable, operationally executable, and guest-ready.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze recipes, yields, ingredient quantities, and cooking procedures to identify inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement
• Review recipe and menu nutritional analysis using CrunchTime software
• Evaluate theoretical food costs and support menu profitability initiatives
• Write clear culinary preparation methods and HACCP procedures
• Input and maintain recipes, ingredient data, costs, nutrition, and cooking procedures across multiple systems
• Support recipe testing and culinary development alongside SSP’s R&D Chef
• Partner cross-functionally with culinary and operational teams to improve processes and execution
• Travel occasionally to support field and culinary initiatives throughout the U.S. and Canada

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of experience as a Chef, Kitchen Manager, or similar culinary leadership role
• Formal culinary training strongly preferred
• Experience with recipe costing, food safety, nutrition analysis, and kitchen systems
• Strong technical skills including Microsoft Excel and restaurant management software
• CrunchTime experience is highly preferred
• Highly organized with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote environment
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail

Why Join SSP America?

At SSP America, we’re passionate about bringing authentic restaurant experiences to airports across North America. We believe food travel should be memorable — and our culinary team helps make that happen every day.

This role offers the opportunity to combine culinary expertise with business strategy, systems thinking, and innovation while working with a collaborative and forward-thinking team.
