Job Description
Located in Chicago's vibrant Fulton Market neighborhood, Aba is a distinguished Mediterranean restaurant that draws inspiration from California's culinary influences. The name 'Aba,' meaning 'father' in Hebrew, reflects the restaurant's deep-rooted respect for tradition combined with a fresh, modern approach. Aba has expanded its presence beyond Chicago to Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, showcasing its renowned Mediterranean menu crafted by Top Chef Alum and Chef Partner CJ Jacobson. The menu excels in offering an innovative take on Mediterranean cuisine, highlighting both authentic and contemporary dishes. Complementing the food is an exceptional beverage program featuring spirits and rare wines sourced from lesser-known Mediterranean regions, making Aba a unique destination for discerning diners seeking both novel flavors and timeless classics.

Additionally, the Divisional Training Manager will maintain and update training materials, support the recruitment and onboarding processes, and foster collaboration among teams to promote a cohesive working environment. The role also requires flexibility, involving work across various shifts and locations, sometimes including overnight travel.
