Elevated Casual Dining | $70,000 – $80,000

We're looking for a passionate and energetic Sous Chef to join the leadership team of one of the most buzzed-about social dining and entertainment venues in the country.

This is not your typical kitchen — think vintage vibes meets tech-driven gameplay, paired with a modern twist on elevated pub fare. Guests come for the immersive experience and stay for the quality food, playful energy, and curated cocktails. Our kitchen plays a central role in delivering the kind of hospitality that keeps the space alive.

What You’ll Do:

  • Support day-to-day BOH operations for a high-volume, fast-paced kitchen
  • Lead and inspire a team of line cooks and prep staff — hands-on and on the line when needed
  • Execute consistent, elevated food presentations that match the playful brand experience
  • Collaborate on menu development, daily prep lists, and specials
  • Manage inventory, ordering, and food cost in partnership with the Exec Chef
  • Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organization, and safety at all times

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2+ years in a Sous Chef or kitchen leadership role in an elevated casual, scratch-kitchen concept
  • Comfortable in a high-volume, experiential environment (think 500+ covers/day)
  • Passionate about food and people — you thrive in a team-first kitchen culture
  • Strong understanding of kitchen systems, prep execution, and service flow
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and events

Perks & Culture:

  • Competitive salary
  • Paid time off, health/dental/vision insurance, and dining discounts
  • Opportunity to grow with a nationally expanding hospitality group
  • Fun, inclusive, fast-paced environment where creativity and play are encouraged
