Executive Sous Chef – High-Performance Kitchen (Dallas Metro)
This is a bold, high-energy, upscale steakhouse-style kitchen with premium proteins, demanding service standards, and a fast-paced environment. Execution, precision, and leadership presence are critical. The kitchen operates at a high level nightly and requires strong internal systems and accountability.
The Executive Sous is a true second-in-command, not a glorified supervisor.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is a high-performing Executive Sous Chef with strong upscale or fine-dining experience, preferably in a steakhouse or premium-protein environment. This person thrives under pressure, leads with calm authority, and is deeply organized.
They must be:
- Technically strong and detail-oriented
- Highly respected by line cooks and peers
- Comfortable enforcing standards without friction
- Capable of running the kitchen independently when needed
- Hungry to grow within a top-tier culinary organization
This role demands confidence, stamina, and leadership maturity.
Non-Negotiables / Deal Breakers
- Casual dining or banquet-heavy backgrounds
- Candidates lacking premium protein experience
- “Yes-chef-only” personalities without leadership presence
- Short tenures or inconsistent career progression
- Candidates who struggle in high-volume, high-expectation kitchens
- This is an elite support role, not a training position.
