About The Position

From the beginning, Corner Table has been obsessed with building a positive, supportive environment for our team members, who in turn take great care of our guests.

We love what we do and are looking for people who share our passion! The Smith is an extremely popular casual neighborhood brasserie – in fact, several of our locations are among the Top 100 busiest restaurants in the US! The menu features bistro classics, seasonal fare, and craft cocktails. Our signature lively atmosphere makes The Smith a versatile setting for an after-work bite, drinks on the town, a birthday bash, a working lunch, a bountiful brunch, or an I-don’t-want-to-cook-to-night night. Chefs will help drive restaurant operations. Sous Chefs must be committed to supporting an inclusive, innovative, and collaborative culture. They excel in supervising daily kitchen operations, making others happy, and actively sharing feedback, while properly managing all operations of the kitchen.
