39 of the 504 openings state a salary. Across those, the middle half of posted pay runs from $60k to $95k a year. We only count postings that state pay, so this is what employers are advertising today, not an estimate. For the fuller picture by seniority and market, see the chef salary page.

The three skills chef postings name most often are Food Service (49% of postings), Food Safety (40%) and Kitchen Management (16%). Those percentages are simply how many of the postings we read mention each one, so you can see which are near-universal and which are nice to have. Every skill, defined: the glossary.
