Sous Chef

About Puttshack:

Puttshack is an upscale, tech-infused mini golf experience that appeals to everyone. More than just indoor mini golf, Puttshack leans on its ground-breaking technology to elevate the game while also serving world-class food and full bar in a cool environment. The Puttshack experience is really all about having fun - and doing something fun - together.

The Role:

Puttshack is looking to attract a diverse team of fun hospitality associates who care deeply about creating an elevated, one-of-a-kind guest experience.

The Sous Chef is responsible for building strong teams - through development, effective hiring, and engagement. They are accountable for a variety of venue business functions and execution of consistent and flawless culinary and operational standards. This may include but is not limited to scheduling, inventory management, ordering, managing (opening/closing) shifts and hiring. They must display the ability to uphold Puttshack standards and procedures, maximize financial performance, and deliver consistent culinary experience to every Puttshack guest.

The combination of our fun atmosphere, entertainment, and delicious food makes us the only tech-forward mini golf game powered by patented Trackaball technology. An innovative, globally-inspired dining experience takes our guests on a culinary journey of flavor equally matched by a complete bar to create a mixologist-obsessed beverage line-up made from the finest ingredients. Come join our team!
