This is a hands-on leadership role in a high-volume, upscale kitchen.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead the kitchen during assigned shifts: expedite, run the pass, and hold ticket times and quality to standard

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years as a Sous Chef, or 4+ years as a lead line cook in an upscale, high-volume kitchen

• Strong grill, saute, and butchery skills; steakhouse or fine dining experience strongly preferred

• Proven ability to lead a team and stay composed under heavy volume

• Working knowledge of food cost, inventory, and labor management

• ServSafe certification, or the ability to obtain one within 30 days of hire

• Culinary degree is a plus, not a requirement

• Able to stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in a hot kitchen environment
