Now Hiring: Executive Chef – Olos Chattanooga

We’re cooking up something brand new in the heart of Downtown Chattanooga! Olos is seeking a visionary Executive Chef to lead the launch of this exciting new concept. If you’re a creative force in the kitchen with a knack for leadership and a passion for building standout food experiences from the ground up, this is your moment.

Every dish at Olos begins with the same commitment: real ingredients, prepared by hand, inspired by the cuisines of Italy, Greece, Spain, and Turkey. Olos is designed to be a gathering place, rooted in the communal spirit the Mediterranean has always known. Open patios, communal tables, and welcoming bar areas invite guests to stay longer and connect more deeply. The warmth and generosity of Mediterranean culture shapes every interaction at Olos.

The goal is always the same: every guest leaves feeling entirely cared for
