About The Position

We are hiring immediately for a full time SOUS CHEF position. At Wolfgang Puck Catering, great careers are crafted the same way great food is — with passion, intention, and the right people around you. We hire for curiosity, spirit, and heart, and we invest in everything you bring to the table. Through mentorship, real development, and a clear path to leadership, we're committed to your journey — not just your job title. Come be part of something that challenges and champions you in equal measure. Success on our team starts with our culture: We have Wolfgang’s PASSION for our business, our product, and our people / guests / clients. A FLEXIBLE MINDSET is key; we are strategic business partners who wear multiple hats. Our services require a CONCIERGE mentality, a bias to action with humble hospitality. We are out-of-the-box PROBLEM SOLVERS, who look around corners so our clients and guests don’t have to. We curate company and partner resources to bring our client’s vision to life. We seek to cultivate the next generation of talent, purveyors and partnerships. We bring an entrepreneurial approach to deliver results for our clients (you might call this scrappy).
