Sous Chef

About Mammoth Fieldhouse

Mammoth Fieldhouse Marion is a competitive social venue where sport, food, and community share one roof. Pure Putt. Flight Deck. Pickleball. Battle Bats. A scratch kitchen and a full bar built to stand on their own. Open play, leagues, tournaments, and private events, all night, every night.

Marion is the hub of Southern Illinois, and this Field draws far past the city limits. People will drive to get here, which means the standard has to hold on a slow Wednesday and a sold-out Saturday alike.

About the Role

You run the line when the Chef is not standing on it.

The Sous Chef is the working leader of the kitchen. You expedite, you cook, you teach, and you hold the standard on every plate that leaves the pass.

We are hiring two. One leads à la carte service and the nightly line. One leads banquet and events production and large-format execution. Tell us which one you are built for, or tell us you can do both.

This is a growth seat. The Sous Chefs we hire now are who we look at first when the next Fieldhouse kitchen needs a leader.

The Line

• Run service as the senior kitchen leader on shift. Expedite, call the line, and own ticket times.
• Execute every dish to recipe and plate spec, and correct anything that is not.

• Own opening and closing kitchen procedures, including temperature logs and sanitation.

Team and Cost

• Support hiring and onboarding for the kitchen team.
• Control waste, yield, and portioning against cost targets.
