Morning Sous Chef – Daytime-Focused Schedule

Location: Tampa, FL

Salary: $63,000 – $70,000 + Bonus + Full Benefits

A growing hospitality group is seeking a Morning Sous Chef to support daily kitchen operations in a high-volume, chef-driven restaurant.

This is an excellent opportunity for a culinary leader who is looking for better quality of life, with a primarily daytime schedule and limited evening commitments.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Salary: $63K–$70K
  • Bonus potential
  • Full health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
  • Daytime-focused schedule (breakfast / brunch / lunch)
  • Only 3–4 evening events per month (no nightly late shifts)
  • Paid time off
  • Stable, well-structured hospitality group
  • Strong leadership support and growth opportunities

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Supporting daily kitchen operations during high-volume service
  • Leading and coaching back-of-house team members
  • Maintaining food quality, consistency, and presentation standards
  • Assisting with prep production and line execution
  • Supporting inventory, ordering, and kitchen organization
  • Ensuring food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards
  • Assisting with scheduling and labor management
  • Supporting occasional evening events (3–4 per month)

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–3+ years of experience as a Sous Chef or Kitchen Manager
  • Experience in a high-volume, scratch kitchen
  • Strong work ethic and team-first mindset
  • Ability to lead from the line during busy service
  • Organized and detail-oriented
  • Passion for training and developing kitchen teams

Preferred Background

Candidates with experience in the following environments will stand out:

  • Brunch or breakfast-focused concepts
  • Upscale casual or chef-driven restaurants
  • High-volume kitchens (500+ covers)
  • Hotel or multi-outlet kitchens

Why Chefs Are Interested in This Role

This position offers the rare opportunity to:

  • Work in a high-quality, chef-driven kitchen
  • Maintain a consistent daytime schedule
  • Avoid the grind of nightly late shifts
  • Still stay engaged in a fast-paced, high-level operation

If you are a motivated Sous Chef looking for strong leadership, stability, and a better lifestyle, we would love to connect.
