It means ‘boss’ and is a diminutive form of ‘jefe’, suggesting that it’s being used almost affectionately or in a friendly way.
Although from the same root as the French word ‘chef’, and a kitchen chef is technically a ‘jefe de cocina’, ‘jefe’ on it’s own does not usually mean ‘chef’ in Spanish, although other kitchen workers might use it to address the chef as he would be their boss.

“Jefecito” is a diminutive (or, often in Spanish, a term of endearment) for the word “jefe”, which means “chief, headman, boss, leader”
In some places (I’ve heard it in Mexico), “jefecito” is used a term of endearment for “father”: “Él es mi jefecito” (“He is my little boss –my dad”)
At times, adding “-ito” to a word may also be derogatory: “Se cree muy jefecito” (“He thinks he’s the little boss.”) It really depends on the context!!!
Jefecito is usually meant as ones father ( mostly used in mexico)
Jefe means boss
