Job Description

Sous Chef – Build Something That Matters

We’re hiring a Sous Chef for a fast-paced, event-driven kitchen—someone who wants more than just a job. This is a chance to work directly with a new Head Chef to build structure, lead a team, and shape a serious culinary program.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Run service, support the pass, and execute high-volume events without losing quality
• Own inventory, ordering, and organization - everything in its place, tracked, and tight
• Help build and enforce systems, prep structure, and kitchen flow
• Train and develop the team - onboarding, standards, and adapting to seasonal menu changes
• Collaborate on seasonal features and menu development with a focus on execution
• Track vendor pricing, control costs, and minimize waste
• Enforce labor standards and support smart scheduling
• Lead cleanliness and deep cleaning systems (not just surface-level)
• Represent BOH in management meetings - clear, direct communication with FOH

What We’re Looking For

• Strong, organized leader who can handle pressure without losing control
• Experience in high-volume or event-driven kitchens
• Someone who cares about doing things properly, not cutting corners
• A cook with taste, standards, and the drive to improve a kitchen—not just work in one

The Goal

Build a kitchen rooted in in-house production, zero shortcuts, and intentional cooking—where flavor matters, plating has purpose, and the team takes pride in the work.

If you want to have a voice, make an impact, and be part of building a team from the ground up, this is that role.

Competitive pay. Growth opportunity. Real responsibility.
