This is an opportunity for an ambitious sous chef—or a first-time Chef de Cuisine—who's ready to lead a kitchen while continuing to cook every day.
We're looking for a self-starter with strong organizational skills, a sense of urgency, and a genuine passion for hospitality. You'll work directly alongside ownership, including an accomplished Michelin-recognized chef, gaining the kind of mentorship that's difficult to find in today's restaurant industry.
What You'll Do
- Lead the kitchen while remaining actively involved on the line.
- Set the pace and the standard for execution, cleanliness, and professionalism.
- Train, coach, and inspire the culinary team.
- Manage ordering, inventory, prep, scheduling, and food cost alongside ownership.
- Maintain consistency, quality, and attention to detail during every service.
- Help develop seasonal menus and daily specials.
What We're Looking For
- A motivated chef ready to take the next step in leadership.
- Strong work ethic and the ability to work independently.
- Calm under pressure with excellent organizational skills.
- Positive leadership style and willingness to teach by example.
- Passion for classic technique, seasonal ingredients, and continuous learning.
- 3–5 years of progressive kitchen experience (Sous Chef or similar preferred).
What We Offer
- Five-day work week.
- 50–55 hour schedule with a strong work-life balance by industry standards.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Paid vacation.
- Creative input and room for growth.
- Daily collaboration with an accomplished Michelin-recognized chef and ownership team.
- The opportunity to build your career—not simply hold another kitchen job.
If you're looking for a place where you'll be challenged, mentored, and given the opportunity to grow into an exceptional culinary leader, we'd love to hear from you.
