A growing Italian restaurant in Peachtree City is seeking a talented Sous Chef to join its culinary leadership team and help deliver the kind of food and hospitality that keeps guests coming back week after week.

We're looking for someone who loves the craft of cooking but understands that being a great Sous Chef is also about leading people, developing a team, staying organized, and creating consistency.

The right chef will appreciate a restaurant that feels polished without being stuffy — a lively neighborhood destination where great Italian food and genuine hospitality come together.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with the Executive Chef to lead daily BOH operations
  • Maintain consistent standards for recipes, preparation, presentation, and food quality
  • Lead, coach, and develop cooks and other BOH team members
  • Help create an organized, collaborative, and accountable kitchen culture
  • Manage prep levels and ensure the kitchen is prepared for successful service
  • Assist with food cost, inventory, ordering, receiving, and waste management
  • Maintain excellent sanitation and food-safety standards
  • Step into kitchen leadership when the Executive Chef is unavailable
  • Help the culinary team maintain consistency during busy services
  • Contribute ideas while respecting the identity and standards of the restaurant

What We're Looking For

  • Previous Sous Chef, Kitchen Manager, Chef de Cuisine, or comparable culinary leadership experience
  • Italian or Mediterranean culinary experience preferred
  • Strong scratch-kitchen fundamentals and culinary technique
  • Experience in a quality-driven, full-service restaurant
  • Ability to train, coach, and motivate a BOH team
  • Working knowledge of food cost, inventory, waste, and kitchen controls
  • Strong organization and attention to detail
  • A collaborative, hands-on leadership style
  • Stable career history and interest in finding a long-term home

Compensation & Benefits

  • $65,000–$75,000 base salary
  • Bonus opportunity
  • Healthcare benefits
  • Paid Time Off
  • Retirement plan
  • Opportunity for professional development and career growth

The Opportunity

We're looking for a chef who wants to be part of building something special — not someone who simply wants their next kitchen job.

You'll have the opportunity to work closely with culinary leadership, develop your team, and help create the kind of welcoming Italian neighborhood restaurant that becomes part of the community.

If you take pride in your food, enjoy developing people, and want an opportunity where your contributions matter, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today for consideration.
