About The Position

Sous Chefs are the Head Chef's right hand — keeping food prep on track, the kitchen running clean, and the team pulling in the same direction. You'll help shape the menu, not just execute it, and step in wherever the kitchen needs you that day. This is a role for someone who wants real input on the menu while still being part of a team, not running the show solo.

• Food safety handler and sanitation certification, or ability to obtain one within 30 days of employment
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Comfort working with a variety of personalities under pressure
• Ability to pass a background check
• Comfort standing for 8+ hour shifts and lifting up to 50 lbs

Responsibilities

• Work alongside the Head Chef to make sure food is prepared safely, efficiently, and to spec
• Collaborate on seasonal, evolving menu concepts
• Keep the kitchen and dining room clean and sanitary
• Wash utensils, equipment, and dishes as needed
• Help unload, inspect, and store raw ingredients and supplies
• Enforce food safety and sanitation standards per state and local regulations
• Plan and execute special events as directed by management
• Communicate regularly with management by phone, email, and text
