Sous Chef – Daytime Concept

Location: Tampa, FL (33602)

A respected, high-volume hospitality group in Tampa is seeking 1–2 Sous Chefs to join a polished, team-driven culinary operation. This concept serves 600–900 guests daily with a strong breakfast, brunch, and lunch program and annual sales of $7–9 million.

This is an excellent opportunity for a culinary professional seeking stability, leadership growth, and work-life balance — with no regular dinner service.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Competitive salary: $63K–$70K
  • Structured performance reviews with opportunity for salary growth
  • No Dinner Service, but possible 3-6 night events a month
  • High-volume, well-respected brand
  • Strong corporate culinary leadership support
  • Clear growth path within an established hospitality group
  • Great role for someone seeking long-term stability and family balance

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Supporting daily kitchen operations in a high-volume, open kitchen
  • Leading and coaching a BOH team of 10–20 employees
  • Maintaining consistency, quality, and execution standards
  • Overseeing prep systems, line flow, and expo during peak service
  • Managing labor, food cost awareness, and inventory support
  • Supporting occasional evening events (no regular dinner shifts)
  • Partnering with Corporate Chef and Executive Chef on execution and team development

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–3 years of experience as a Sous Chef or strong Kitchen Manager
  • Experience in a high-volume, scratch kitchen environment
  • Strong culinary fundamentals and kitchen organization skills
  • Proven people-management and coaching ability
  • Positive energy and team-first leadership style
  • Professional appearance and comfort working in an open kitchen
  • Stable work history with growth mindset
  • No ego-driven leadership style — collaborative and culture-focused

Ideal Background

Experience from upscale casual restaurants, polished brunch concepts, boutique hotels, or chef-driven daytime operations is highly preferred.

If you’re a steady, high-energy culinary leader who enjoys mentoring teams and executing at a high level — without the burnout of late-night dinner service — we’d love to connect.
