About The Position
OMB is looking for a Sous Chef who wants to grow — someone who'll be the Executive Chef's right hand and a driving force behind the culinary team. You'll help lead the line, hold the standard, and feed a packed house of Charlotte regulars who come for the beer and stay for the food. Reporting to the Executive Chef, you'll be a critical part of culinary management — supporting the team's leadership, mentoring the line, and making sure every plate lives up to the OMB name.
Requirements

- Excellent volume cooking, plating, and organizational skills, with composure during the rush
- Strong communication and listening skills, and a genuinely positive attitude
- Comfort with Microsoft Word, Excel, and culinary reporting software
- Flexibility to work weekends and holidays, and the ability to lift up to 50 lbs
- A real interest in craft beer (we'll keep you well supplied)
- A commitment to OMB's six core values
Responsibilities
- Providing professional leadership and direction to the culinary crew alongside the Executive Chef
- Holding the line on recipes, prep, plating, and presentation so quality never slips
- Helping coach, develop, and review staff — and supporting the hiring and training of new cooks
- Keeping a clean, safe, organized kitchen where every station is stocked, labeled, temped, and dialed in
- Stepping in as expeditor when service gets loud and keeping the team composed under pressure
- Partnering with the Executive Chef on daily line-ups, staffing levels, and the rhythm of each shift
- Working with the Service Team on smooth opens and closes
- Supporting performance reviews and, when needed, tougher personnel calls
- Knowing and enforcing every safety and emergency procedure, no exceptions

- Free beer stipend for OMB staff
- Health coverage: medical, dental, and vision
- 401(k) with company match
- Employer-paid long-term disability insurance
