We’re looking for a hands-on Sous Chef to join a well-respected, high-volume restaurant known for its strong culture, supportive leadership, and consistency-driven operations.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Sous Chef who enjoys being in the middle of the action, leading a team, and running a clean, organized, high-performing kitchen — without the burnout or chaos that often comes with the role.


What You’ll Do:

  • Lead nightly kitchen operations and oversee closing shifts
  • Manage and support a small, tight-knit BOH team
  • Ensure standards, cleanliness, and organization are consistently executed
  • Oversee inventory and product control
  • Jump on expo or the line as needed during service
  • Help maintain a kitchen that runs smoothly, efficiently, and with pride

What We’re Looking For:

  • Sous Chef or Kitchen Manager experience in a high-volume restaurant
  • Strong leadership skills — able to hold a team accountable while earning respect
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and systems-minded
  • Comfortable working independently and making decisions
  • A calm, steady presence during service (not passive, not explosive)
  • Someone who leads by example and takes pride in a clean, well-run kitchen

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Supportive leadership structure — you’re not on an island
  • Clear systems and processes already in place
  • Reasonable hours and sustainable workload
  • Strong, established team and culture
  • Opportunity to grow within a stable and respected restaurant group

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Base salary around $62,000
  • Company-paid insurance (approx. $2,500 value)
  • 2 weeks PTO + paid holidays
  • 401(k) with strong company match
