CHEF, SOUS (FULL TIME)
About The Position
Compass Group is hiring a full-time Sous Chef for its University of Arkansas campus team in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Sous Chef helps the Executive Chef prepare and cook food, coordinates cooks and other food-service associates, and assumes responsibility for kitchen and food-service associates when the Executive Chef is absent. The role follows approved recipes and production standards, ensures production deadlines are met, and supports safe, sanitary, and efficient food service. The schedule is full-time, with open availability preferred; hours and days may vary. The position pays $16.00 to $22.00 per hour. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until the opening is filled. The role supervises hourly food-service associates and may involve interviewing, scheduling, payroll, training, counseling, participating in reviews, and recommending disciplinary action. It also includes customer interaction, inventory and delivery monitoring, and tracking product production, consumption, and waste.
