These meals are better-for-you versions of familiar favorites, designed to save you time and reduce stress while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our Tempo menu includes options that are protein-packed, fiber-rich, calorie and carb conscious, keto-friendly, and dietitian-approved.

Similar to our recipes, we recognize that variety is the spice of life, and therefore, our employees also bring their uniqueness and color to our fantastic team. We’re eager to work with humble team players and pragmatic next-level thinkers to innovate on Home Chef’s offerings.

Drive Change with Confidence: Lead the charge on schedule changes, workforce transitions, and operational improvements—all while keeping employees informed, engaged, and motivated.
Connect & Inspire: Whether it’s walking the floor with hourly associates or collaborating with senior leadership, you’ll create meaningful connections at all levels.
Champion Growth & Development: Identify and implement strategies to attract, develop, and retain top talent—building the future of our workforce.
Own HR Excellence: Ensure HR policies, compliance, and best practices are developed & aligned to create a safe, fair, and dynamic workplace.
Influence the Big Picture: You won’t just execute—you’ll lead, innovate, and challenge the status quo to make sure HR is a driver of business success.
