Is this a normal duty load for an Executive chef? Who on EARTH would want to juggle all that?
>he isn't ABSOLUTELY PERFECTâ„¢
Since when do chefs have to deal with the hiring process? What the fuck does management do then, probe their anus in the back room all day? Pay better start at $40/hr

>Is this a normal duty load for an Executive chef?
Yes. Looks pretty standard. Executive Chef is responsible for everything in the kitchen, hence the term EXECUTIVE. Ideally they'll have a good sous chef or two to offload basic duties onto, but purchasing, hiring and firing, and menu oversight is standard. They say hands on approach is required and this is true, but a chef is mostly responsible for making sure his line and sous are doing a good job.
Ever watch any Gordon Ramsay show? What does he do? Some cooking, mostly plating, yells at people, when their shit isn't up to snuff he doesn't let it leave the pass and orders a refire. This is what a chef will do during service, the 'heavy lifting' is going to be done by the Sous and line cooks, because the chef is managing and ensuring standards, finishing touches, etc
Chef's aren't going to be hourly, they do too much work. Generally salary, in a range of 50k - 70k a year, give or take. That's for casual dining, of course. Fine dining is it's own beast.

So executive chef is a bit of a misnomer. It's like a pit boss then

job descriptions mostly go over the top if its an important job. nobody expects the applicant to actually do all this, its more to weed out the unmotivated people and sets a baseline to be able to fire you whenever you want

This is completely standard. What the fuck do you think a chef does? It's not an easy job.
